The Þingholt quarter in Reykjavík is built to a human scale, unlike some other parts of the city. The streets are old and narrow, cars move slowly and many people walk or bike. It is strange, however, that some streets, including the one where I live, Þingholtsstræti, some streetlights were erected at some point in time which would be appropriate for any motorway. Tall, grey things with lights that extend into the middle of the street above our heads. Outside my own house stands one such lamppost, even with a huge traffic sign so people cannot escape noticing it. Here the urban environment could, in a very simple way, be made more welcoming and warm for both inhabitants and guests, by designing different streetlamps. The design might for example make some references to the rich history of this part of town, but above all the motorway thingies should be removed. There is time for a new Enlightenment in 101 Reykjavík.
