Abstract
The aim of the paper is to describe an evolution of approaches to regulation of artificial light in urban areas and present examples of existing practices in this regard. The authors introduce the theoretical debate on the lighting pollution phenomenon and outline the contemporary arguments for lighting planning as an element of broader urban policy. Presented examples of comprehensive approaches to urban light planning have been based on the results of international inquiry curried out in 2018.
