Shenzhen city lighting special plan released

"Planning" proposed a new spatial structure of "one area, three axes, three bays and five cores". Among them, "a district" refers to the dark night protection demonstration area, namely Dapeng Star Park.

"Three-axis" refers to the three night-scene axes, namely the night-scene (main) axis formed by "Bao'an Avenue-Shennan Avenue-Wenjin Road-Longgang Avenue-Shenshan Road-Zhanqian Road", "Pinglong Road-Guanping Road" -Guanlan Avenue-Longguan Avenue-Shiqing Avenue-Heping Road-Tenglong Road-Xinqu Avenue-Caitian Road Secondary) axis.

"Three Bays" refer to three night bay areas, Qianhai Bay, Shenzhen Bay and Jiaoyi Bay (extending to Maozhou River).

"Five cores" refer to the five night scene core areas, including the night scene core of Futian Center, the night scene core of Luohu Center, the night scene core of Houhai Central District, the night scene core of Baoan-Qianhai Central Area, and the night scene core of Longhua Center.

"The spatial distribution of high activity at night in Shenzhen presents the characteristics of the spatial distribution of'five cores and three belts'. We combined big data analysis and the actual construction and business distribution of various regional carriers to finally determine the overall structure of the new urban lighting." The relevant person in charge of the Lighting Environment Management Center of the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau introduced that the lighting plan is connected with the land and space planning. There are clear distinctions between where the lighting night scene can be built and where strict control is required.

Delimiting the dark night protection area, carrying out dark night protection, leading the night ecological restoration and dark night economy, is a major innovation and highlight of the "Plan".

Shenzhen will rely on the Shenzhen Observatory in Xiyong of Dapeng to build the "Dapeng Starry Sky Park", plan a starry sky experience area, telescope observation area and tourist service area to view the natural resources of Shenzhen's dark night sky, forming a collection of night sky protection, starry sky observation, and starry sky photography, Holiday tourism, and popular science explanation in one of the special night activities. Visitors can experience tent camping, astronomical telescope, red light flashlight rental service, etc. in the park. Shenzhen strives to build the park into a pilot demonstration area that "balances the city's nighttime public activities and ecological protection needs" and leads the development of the city's new night economic form (dark night economy).

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Lighting Environment Management Center told the reporter that the center has conducted public opinion surveys, and 98% of the citizens participating in the survey agree with the concept of "dark night protection" and the planning and construction of Shenzhen "Dapeng Star Park". During the construction of the park, light pollution control will be carried out in the Xiyong area, Dongyong area, Yangmeikeng area, Nan'ao area, Xichong Workers’ Holiday Village, etc., strictly control the construction of landscape lighting in the surrounding B&Bs and business districts, and stipulate the lighting time of landscape lighting. Strive to obtain the "International Dark Night Community" certification through light pollution remediation and related activities.

Strict control of light pollution, which is of concern to citizens, is also one of the key contents of the "Plan". The "Planning" requires that the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Area, International Low-Carbon City, Hetao Area, Damguang International Biological Valley Area and Xiaomeisha Coastal Area are strictly prohibited from media fa?ade lighting; residential buildings, medical buildings, and educational buildings are strictly prohibited from media fa?ade lighting.

For the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Area and the Baguang International Biological Valley Area and other areas adjacent to Shenzhen’s important ecologically sensitive areas, the lighting construction will meet the regional night scene image display while taking into account the ecological needs. The use of upward searchlights, lasers and media stands is strictly prohibited. On the other hand, if migratory bird migration and migration needs are involved, ecological avoidance should be actively carried out during the migratory bird migration season from October to May of the following year, and the opening of landscape lighting and the use of dynamic lighting should be strictly restricted. Urban lighting construction that adversely affects the ecological protection of Mai Po and Deep Bay Internationally Important Wetlands and Mangrove Reserves should be rectified in time and closed when necessary.

As for the night scene lighting design of commercial characteristic lighting areas, Shenzhen mainly promotes internal light and external light transmission. It should not be too lively and emphasize visual impact. The integrated design of indoor and outdoor lighting of buildings should be implemented. This is energy-saving, emission-reduction, and restoration of architectural characteristics. A very useful measure to use light to express the characteristics of the city and its architecture.

"Planning" pays attention to night public activities, through the combination of lighting and public art, let light and shadow art enter the life of citizens, and promote the formation of the brand of Shenzhen city night cultural activities.

"Planning" proposes to carry out festive celebration-type night public activities, such as light shows. It is planned to hold light and shadow art activities from December to February each year. Create artistic underground pedestrian passages, mountain top viewing platforms, night busses, etc.

In the long term, it is planned to build a light and shadow park in the print village of Guanlan Resort, improve the construction of characteristic architectural landscape lighting, plan architectural projection shows and other light performances, show printmaking craftsmanship and Hakka folk culture, enrich the form of tourism activities, and drive the regional night economic development.
