Bright lights, big city

-

IWAS dismayed to read of the Illuminate­d River installati­on (Town & Country, December 12/19, 2018). In these days when we desperatel­y need to be preserving the world’s dwindling resources, not to mention decreasing light pollution for the sake of the mental health of humanity and the well-being of wildlife, it’s astonishin­g that this decade-long, energy-burning installati­on has received planning permission. Where is the joined-up thinking?

Apparently, it will offer ‘a glimpse into our city’s future’; well, it will certainly contribute to a darkening prospect for our children and grandchild­ren. Dr Maria Purves, by email
