This prestigious international event, hosted by LUCI and the City of London, brought together global leaders in urban lighting to explore innovative and inspiring ideas.
Three Key Pillars for the Future of Urban Lighting
During the summit, discussions focused on three fundamental pillars shaping the future of urban lighting:
✅ Sustainability: Lighting cities while respecting the planet
We explored eco-friendly solutions designed to reduce the environmental impact of urban lighting systems while maintaining their efficiency and aesthetic appeal.

New initiatives highlighted how lighting can enhance urban quality of life by addressing factors like visual comfort, circadian rhythms, and safety.
✅ Inclusion: Lighting for everyone
Urban lighting must be accessible and equitable, creating spaces where everyone feels safe and welcome.
Immersion and Exchanges: A Source of Endless Inspiration
Immersive experiences, such as the visit to the Illuminated River, provided unique insights into projects that transform urban nighttime landscapes. These enriching exchanges allowed us to discover innovative approaches, paving the way for brighter, more attractive, and sustainable cities.
