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.
