Dark futures and better nighttime environments

Press/Media: Research

Description

In depth radio interview with Pete Otway for BBC Radio Lancashire and BBC Radio Cumbria to talk about my forthcoming book, Dark Futures. We discuss how the common perception of more light at night to make places safer is not necessarily true, and how darkening cities could help create safer and more inviting nighttime environments that would benefit biodiversity, human health and wellbeing, and tackle climate issues.
