When darkness spreads its blanket over the city, it becomes light again. Let yourself be surprised by the light plan, which will show you the unprecedented sides of Ghent. During the day, the city is already very beautiful but at night it comes alive a second time. With its rich historical heritage, its rivers and stunning urban landscapes, Ghent plays a pioneering role because of the large-scale way in which the City has thought and considered a lighting strategy. Atmospherically lit streets and squares invite you to take an evening stroll. As a walker strolling along Ghent's streets and squares, you may not be aware that it is precisely this lighting plan that adds that extra touch to your experience. The Ghent Lighting Plan puts the city's ‘skyline’ and historical panoramas in the limelight. Moreover, enhanced by the reflection in the water. Besides a global concept, detailed concepts were also drawn up. Different materials, a different environment, different intensity of light, tonality, height, ... create a different effect. A building suddenly looks completely different when details are highlighted that are hardly noticeable in daylight. The lighting plan also responds to the growing need for sustainability. Using different lamps or lighting technology can save a lot of energy. By lighting better and in the right place, inconvenience to people and animals is reduced. This walk takes you to places that will make your visit to Ghent a unique experience.
