The 14th City.People.Light Awards were presented on Nov. 4 in Seoul, South Korea, during the LUCI (Lighting Urban Community International) Annual General Meeting, which took place Nov. 2 to 6. Five cities, from a group of 30 entries, were acknowledged for their urban lighting projects. First Prize went to Aalborg, Denmark; Second Prize was awarded to Seoul, South Korea; Third Prize was made to Emmen, the Netherlands; two Special Mentions were given, one to the city of Lyon, France, and the other to Busan, South Korea.
The City.People.Light program was established in 2003 by LUCI and Philips to recognize the work of municipalities as they implement lighting strategies that address the unique aspects of urban environments to create sustainable and livable cities. Since the program was initiated, more than 70 cities have been recognized for their outdoor lighting programs.
This year’s first prize winner, the city Aalborg, Denmark, was recognized for its House of Music Area, an “urban regeneration” project that is transforming the city’s waterfront from an industrial area into a university and cultural hub. Nordic lighting firm, ÅF Lighting, is the lighting designer behind the project. As noted in the press release, “The design embraced the local heritage of the site and used stakeholder analysis to ensure the space was not only attractive, but also inviting to local residents, students, and visitors to the city.” C.F. Møller, the project’s landscape architect said in a prepared statement, “In the new space, lighting intertwines with the natural backdrop of the waterfront creating a unique landscape throughout the day and even at night. The space is adaptive and dynamic ensuring the perfect environment is created no matter the event, exhibition or season. This is achieved through tailored lighting solutions.”
