Basing itself on the 1997 Lighting Plan, produced by Roger Narboni, the "new lighting plan" of the Brussels-Capital Region seeks to allow people to rediscover the city at night, and to create routes to encourage them to explore it on foot, with the following objectives:

• To place the human being at the centre of the debate
• To work on "sustainable lighting"
• To work on the notion of urban pathways and the city in movement
• To highlight the city's heritage differently
• To energise the collaboration between public and private actors
