PLUS

(Public Lighting Strategies for Sustainable Urban Spaces)

The PLUS project – which ran from 2010 to 2012 and was financed by the EU’s INTERREG IVC programme – capitalized on existing urban lighting best practices in European cities.

The project aimed to help cities develop their lighting policies and strategies in order to implement energy efficient lighting solutions.

The Municipality of Eindhoven was the initiator and lead partner of this two-year European project in which 11 cities across Europe as well as LUCI participated.
