Lighting Master Plan
A set of rules and guidelines which should ideally make balance and harmony between lighting of different sections of a city or a region within a city is called Lighting Master Plan 9L.M.P). L.M.P. involves urban sections such as: streets, pedestrian paths, plazas, squares, parks, parking, monuments and architectural lighting in each zone of the city. Lighting plan controls the illumination of each urban zone as well as the unity between them as a whole.

Until the 1980s public lighting was focused in specific parts of the cities rather than the whole. In the late 1980’s “festive lighting” was used as an encouragement for urban economies to invest more on urban lighting as exemplied in Paris. Various needs such as safety, commercial purposes and beautification have led to the rapid growth of outdoor lighting mostly without an organized plan. However the city should prepare to organize this growth with a comprehensive light info structure or otherwise this may lead to a vast chaos of un-organized lights, transforming the night view of a city into visual pollution. Currently, there is no systematic theory of urban landscape lighting planning.

Following factors may be seen in Lighting Master Plan;

- Architectural Lighting

- Sustainable development

- Energy Saving

- Intelligent Lighting

- Smart Street Lighting

- Lighting Control Strategies and Technologies

- Urban Furniture and Structure Lighting - Festivals of Lights
