This video summarizes an experiment that showed a 39% decrease in crime and arrests with improved street lighting.
This is part of the Reducing Violence Across the United States 2021 panel series from the Niskanen Center, which highlights the best research on how to reduce violent crime with the goal of informing policy and practice to make our communities safer.
CIOs in municipal organizations may benefit from understanding the evolution of street and area
lighting technologies and standards.
This Guide may help CIOs and their teams collaborate on Smart City
initiatives with their organizational peers in Public Works and Engineering departments.
A qualitative and quantitative analysis of how using effective lighting design and advanced lighting solutions to reduce the energy costs and GHG footprint of lighting by a total of 25.5%
A growing body of scientific research suggests that light pollution can have lasting adverse effects on human health, and wildlife health, habitat, and migration.

Feeling safe in public transport is essential for mobility, and fear of crime can be a larger problem for the individual than crime itself.
Among the most important characteristics affecting passengers’ safety are lighting, surveillance, other persons’ behaviour, time of day, and one’s own gender.
Creating safe spaces for railway and public transit facilitates increased use, which has follow-on socio-economic benefits for cities.
This 2016 paper by Adam Sedziwy and Leszek Kotulski is an essential for street lighting designers and engineers. The authors propose methodologies that drive savings by LED retrofit projects, advanced (aka Smart) lighting control and design, and operational & management cost savings available from advanced networked lighting systems.
We find evidence that communities that were assigned more lighting ex- perienced sizable reductions in crime. After accounting for potential spatial spillovers, we find that the provision of street lights led, at a minimum, to a 36 percent reduction in nighttime outdoor index crimes.
