However, Saudi Arabia tops the list - since it was largely an open desert until the recent growth of urban cities, it receives unmatched levels of sunlight. A list of 50 capital cities across all continents of the world was taken and Lightpolutionmap.com revealed the light pollution level and artificial brightness level of each city. All five brightest cities, except Buenos Aires, are located in the Earth’s northern hemisphere which gets more hours of direct sunlight per day. Bright’s pizza fritta: a tiny but mighty mass of plump, fried dough with a simple hat of fresh, sweet tomato. During the rest of the year, the 75,000 streetlights around D.C. keep the city bright. Washington D.C.’s light pollution level is nearly 18mcd/m², the third-highest of the world’s capital cities!
Luxembourg’s capital gets on average just under five hours of sunlight per day - a result of short winter days. The natural brightness level is astonishingly low at 3.5, showing how little daylight falls on Luxembourg. Benefitting from not only natural light, Saudi Arabia’s financial hub is also illuminated by street lights, office buildings and the annual light festival Noor Riyadh. This is clearly shown in its light pollution level which is almost 19mcd/m². The world’s brightest cities are dominated by large cities with high populations - most wouldn’t be surprised to see advertising hotspots like London and Dubai towards the top of our list. Although Argentina's capital city is covered in man-made lights - its light pollution level is over 12mcd/m²!It is fascinating to see how design has changed over the last 150 years – we have many engineers who are passionate about design, maybe Poster Art 150 has given them some new ideas,” said Steve Scrimshaw, Siemens Rail Systems UK Managing Director. The brightest city in the world is Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The country’s brightest and most populated city is located in the middle of the An Nafud desert - an open sandy plane covering 103,600km². You can see plenty more posters, plus vintage maps and photos, on London Transport Museum's online collection. Does your fave not feature in this article? Let us know in the comments. Another unfussy design that gets to the point. Inspired by Edward Johnston's famous 'Underground: Proportions of Standard Bullseye' design'? Surely. The number of votes for Brightest London is impressive given the public had a large selection from which to choose. We’re delighted that so many people participated in the Siemens Poster Vote which reinforces the view that our poster collection is one of the most important collections of graphic art in the world,” said Sam Mullins, Director of London Transport Museum.
Botogá’s light pollution level is just under 3mcd/m², placing it towards the bottom of the ranking. It also has one of the lowest levels of artificial brightness at just under 3,000μcd/m². At Christmas, the city lights up in an array of light shows from the Winter Walk to Zoolights at the National Zoo. However, it’s not all dark across the country. Barranquilla in the north of Colombia averages seven hours of sunlight per day, while near the southern hemisphere in Bogotá the figure is just over 3.5 hours. Buenos Aires gets just under seven hours of sunlight per day on average and has the fourth-highest natural light pollution level. Courgette with basil and burrata curds turns out to be a breathtaking, pond-like puddle of cold courgette soup with balm-like milky swirlings. Kermit-coloured gazpacho, if you will. Delicious, and I’m generally strictly against the concept of cold soup and have doubled down on this ever since Sid Owen from EastEnders served a gazpacho on Celebrity MasterChef that was cold plum tomatoes with chopped red onion served at the temperature of street vomit. At Bright, I found a new way of looking at things.London’s light pollution level is just over 11, yet its light festivals secure its place in the world’s top five brightest. If you’ve heard of the famous ‘midnight sun’ season where days can last up to 22 hours and the sun never fully sets, you might be surprised to see Reykjavík so far down the list. From a list of cities by sunshine duration, the annual number of sunlight hours for each city was taken and divided by 365 to reveal the average daily number of sunlight hours. Iceland also has some of the lowest levels of artificial light, likely a result of its low population and natural desert landscape. Reykjavík’s artificial brightness score is just over 4,000μcd/m².
An original poster depicting people dining at a restaurant. One of a series of four posters by Virginie Morgand celebrating the very best of London after dark. The artist uses hand drawn shapes and bright colours to create a vibrant image full of life and energy. London is an unlikely contender for the brightest city in the world, with England so often associated with gloomy skies, rain and short summers. The Middle Eastern city faces long, hot and bright summers, contrasting the short winter season. Averaging over eight hours of sunlight per day, Riyadh is naturally one of the brightest cities on the planet. However, Iceland’s long and dark winter months can mean some cities get just a few hours of sunlight in the snowy season! This gives a yearly average of under four sunlight hours per day in Reykjavik.Washington D. C, ranks in third place - averaging at almost seven hours of sunlight per day the city is naturally luminous. visible during specific time intervals: post-sunset observations, nocturnal observations, pre-sunrise observations. This organized Observing Guide is designed to provide key information for planning observing sessions of Solar System Objects The Virginie Morgand – Brightest London collection is the fourth in a continuing series of posters through London Transport Museum’s Transport Poster Art project, which is supported by Clear Channel.
