The paper looks at the street lighting experiences of three industrialized countries:
Sheffield (England): publicly owned electric company and privately owned gas company
Bochum (Germany): publicly owned
Minneapolis (USA): privately owned
-
Sheffield was known for cutlery manufacturing. In the history of the city,the population drifted in two directions from the CBD—working class suburbs in the southern and western fringes and the wealthy suburbs in the hills on the west. In this city initially the streetlights had the ‘police’ function. It was first demanded in areas where contact between the classes took place. It was not installed in those areas where the upper classes never went.
