This paper explores the complex connection between heritage, light and power in Shanghai since the late 19th Century, and seeks a new understanding of how mutually coupled legacies of modernity, socialism and cosmopolitanism continue to shape this city’s unique identity and image. It focuses on the recent ideological remake of the skyline along the Huangpu River, achieved largely through the flamboyant illumination designed in 2018. Combining a number of visual and textual sources with fieldwork, it reveals the persistent symbolic role the city has played in a triumphant socialist cause, and assesses how past promises of a new Shanghai and a bright future for China have been sustained in the Reform Era. It forms a preliminary attempt to depict what the author argues should be perceived and studied as the engineering of a new propaganda medium which intersects with urban space governance. The implications of this project are discussed in the context of the threats and opportunities for Shanghai in terms of maintaining the city’s unique character and meaning coming from its own history and culture, rather than in terms of Shanghai simply being a vehicle for China’s modernity.

Analizuojamas naktinis miestovaizdis, kurio reikšmė formuojant vizualinį miesto identitetą iki šiol Lietuvoje nebuvo tyrinėta. Apšviesti miestą socialine ir ekonomine prasme yra rentabilu, todėl apskritai miestas yra pakankamai apšviestas, tačiau tai vyksta spontaniškai energetinio ūkio evoliuciniame procese. Naktinio miestovaizdžio meninis reikšmingumas Lietuvoje vis dar neatskleistas. Apšviestų gatvių, pėsčiųjų zonų, aikščių, skverų, želdinių, monumentų ir išskirtinių architektūros objektų, sudarančių naktinį miestovaizdį, estetika nėra įvertinta, nors jos galimybės yra labai didelės.

The paper is dedicated to urban night lighting analysis. Till nowadays the meaning of urban night lighting which forms the visual urban identity wasn't a research object. Urban lighting has both social and economic benefit, that is why in many cases the city is illuminated, but quite spontaneous together with the process of energetic economics evolution. The artistic value of urban night lighting is still not discovered in Lithuania. The aesthetics of illuminated streets, pedestrian areas, squares, plants, monuments and exclusive architectural objects, which form urban night scenery, is still not valued and, fortunately, it has substantial future vista.
