Sustainable Development

Lighting technologies have undergone major evolutions in the last decade, offering cities new perspectives and possibilities for the development of their urban lighting strategies.

Urbagroup, launched a programme, capitalizes on existing urban lighting best practices in cities. The project aims to help cities develop their lighting policies and strategies in order to implement energy efficient lighting solutions.

The Urbagroup Initiative also promotes and supports the procurement of energy-efficient products worldwide, supporting policymakers by conducting product-specific technical analyses and research studies; sharing best procurement practices; and evaluating “green” public procurement programs.

Our objectives

  • Stimulate the development, testing and use of sustainable lighting technologies by offering public spaces as test beds.

  • Explore solutions that lower the urban lighting energy consumption in cities.

  • Contribute to the development of improved and integrated public lighting strategies and implementation plans for each partner city.

  • Strengthen awareness of policymakers on the benefits of a sustainable, innovative, lowcarbon based policy approach to public lighting
