LUCI “Sparking the Future of Urban Lighting” 2022

In May 2022, the LUCI community gathered for the special online event “Sparking the Future of Urban Lighting” to celebrate the network’s 20 year anniversary. Through keynotes, roundtables and LUCI working group meetings, the 3-day event followed the keywords celebration, participation, and inspiration in order to build a common vision of the Future of Urban Lighting together.

Besides reflecting on the last two decades, LUCI members participated in the co-creation of a major LUCI Declaration on the future of urban lighting. During the event, the inaugural Cities & Lighting Awards were launched.
