Esto es especialmente valioso, urgente, necesario, cuando se trata de perspectiva de género. Apenas estamos empezando a entrever una práctica del diseño de iluminación para espacios públicos con perspectiva de género, a desarrollar las herramientas necesarias para poder dar respuesta a un enfoque inclusivo, consciente, de la planificación urbana del que ya se empiezan a ver frutos en nuestras ciudades gracias al trabajo de profesionales como el colectivo Punt6 o el Grupo de Investigación de Geografía y Género del Departamento de Geografía de la Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona.

A lo largo del presente artículo, trataré de desgranar para el lector, la información más relevante que durante este proceso he ido recabando.
La reconstrucción histórica de un aspecto de los orígenes de la luminotecnia en España, que sólo puede ser parcial e incompleta, en primer lugar, por lo dispersa que se encuentra la escasa bibliografía al respecto, y, finalmente, porque este trabajo de investigación ha sido realizado con más entusiasmo que conocimientos metodólogicos y científicos.

carry out research about the influence of urban exterior lighting in people’s health. The Task Group is
promoted and managed by CICAT, a Spanish Cluster for innovation in the sector of lighting. The cluster
members come mainly from the lighting manufacturing industry, and also include universities, and other
related companies, including independent lighting designers.
This applied research is being carried out by technicians, planners, managers and designers from
different private companies and public institutions, with responsibility and objective markets centered
in public lighting and urban planning.

It is the result of an applied research that is currently being carried out by a task group formed by technicians, planners, managers and designers from different private companies and public institutions with responsibility and expertise in public lighting and urban planning. The group objective is to explore innovative methods and state of the art technology implementations as a practical application of the evidence-based knowledge in the field of artificial lighting for the sake of
health and well-being. The definition of health is extended, as the concept of well-being includes the urban space as an ecosystem. There is also a fundamental source of awareness that comes from social sciences about how the built environment design promotes well-being, or else constitutes a hazard for health. After a definition phase for the methodologies and the technology that would need to be developed, the task group is focused on developing new products and planning a prototype installation on a real playground. A tactical, lightweight intervention in an urban green area in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona is designed to implement, test, and
communicate these innovative methods. Once the experiment is validated, a collaboration with public authorities will allow to introduce innovative perspectives in street lighting. Having received support from local’s regional government innovation programmes, through a competitiveness strengthening initiative, the project is partly funded by the European Commission.
