Tailored for cities and local authorities, the LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards put the spotlight on high impact on urban lighting projects that go beyond illumination. These awards focus on lighting plans that have positive effects on economic, social, and cultural development of cities.
The second edition of this award continued to celebrate cities that have realised urban lighting projects that aim to improve sustainability and quality of life of citizens, in the spirit of the LUCI Declaration for the Future of Urban Lighting.
The 2024 Cities & Lighting Awards Ceremony took place on the 5th of December, in the context of the Lyon Light Festival Forum.
Designed for cities and local authorities, the LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards recognise, every two years, urban lighting projects that reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of urban lighting and show a positive impact on economic, social, and cultural development. They celebrate cities that have driven projects with the ultimate aim to improve sustainability and quality of life.
The inaugural edition of the LUCI Cities & Lighting Awards took place on the International Day of Light, 16 May 2022, at the occasion of LUCI’s 20th anniversary event Sparking the Future of Urban Lighting.
This first edition in 2022 awarded inspiring projects from the City of Izmir, City of Tampere, and Seoul Metropolitan Government. Check out the 2002 winners here.
