About LUCI

What is LUCI?

LUCI (Lighting Urban Community International) is a unique international network bringing together cities and lighting professionals engaged in using light as a major tool for urban, social and economic development, with a concern for sustainability and environmental issues.

Created in 2002, at the behest of the City of Lyon, today LUCI is an organisation of nearly 100 members, comprising around 63 cities covering four continents and 35 associated members (international companies, lighting designers and architects, universities, independent lighting professionals…)

LUCI's Objectives

Cities across the world are confronted with the emergence of new urban forms, the evolution of urban lifestyles and an acute energy crisis.

LUCI’s aim is to help cities find appropriate answers to these major challenges by making use of light as a tool for urban development through lighting plans, projects and innovations. With this in mind, three main objectives lead the work of the LUCI network:

Exchange - Facilitate exchange of information by organising international conferences, field visits and other events.
Promote - highlight best practices from cities and award prizes for exemplary projects.
Progress - participate in a prospective vision of urban lighting (research and project assistance).

The LUCI Executive Committee

The network is led by an Executive Committee made up of 9 voting members (cities), and 3 associated non-voting members.
