Since 2002, LUCI (Lighting Urban Community International, not-for-profit association) brings together cities that sustainably use light as a tool for social, cultural and economic development. LUCI brings together close to 70 cities and 50 companies worldwide. Cities are joined by associated members from the urban lighting ecosystem including the lighting industry, design agencies, light artists and light festival organisers, research institutes and more.
Lighting is an essential asset for cities to remain inclusive and accessible, safe and attractive after dark. It’s also a precious public good to be used with care at the right time and at the right level. As cities face climate change and other major challenges, including new patterns of work, leisure and mobility propelled by growing urbanisation and evolving technologies, the uses of public space are altered, especially at night.
Together in LUCI, through meetings, knowledge exchange, cooperation and advocacy, there is an unprecedented opportunity to better light our cities and improve the quality of life at night.
