City Planners' Forum

[i]at PLDC 2009[/i] 28. October, 2009 Berlin On Wednesday, 28. October, 2009, prior to the three-day Professional Lighting Design Convention, PLDC in Berlin, the PLDC team will be staging a one-day forum dedicated to urban planners and decision makers at local government level. The forum will comprise lectures on Urban Lighting Strategies: What they are and what benefits they incorporate; reports on Urban Lighting Solutions that demonstrate the economic and social benefits of designed lighting schemes; real information about Energy Issues: What is energy efficient lighting, which technologies are sustainable and what perspectives do LEDs offer. All papers will allow ample time for questions and answers. The afternoon session will offer a first-time-ever opportunity for public clients to meet lighting consultants and designers in a Client Meets Designer format. In this day and age urban lighting strategies are the intelligent way forward for towns and cities that wish to enhance their respective urban environments for people living and working there, improve the town's economy by attracting people to spend more time and money in town centres, and make their urban centres interesting and attractive for visitors and tourists. Attending the City Planner's Forum, CPF will upgrade the knowledge in all matters regarding designed lighting in the urban environment. You can put yourself in a position to make an educated decision when it comes to the lighting in your town or city. Invest sensibly to get the best result for your town and its communities. The City Planners' Forum is supported by the Professional Lighting Designers' Association, PLDA, who have contact to lighting professionals around the globe and LUCI, Lighting Urban Community International. The Forum will be held in English, but professional lighting designers from different countries will be available to consult. The Client Meets Designer session can therefore be held in a language of your choice. The schedule is published at http://www.pld-c.com > City Planners' Forum
