Lighting Metropolis partners selected Eindhoven as they’re choice for the latest study trip, to get inspired and exchange Smart City ideas with some of the key initiators and project leaders of cutting edge urban development projects.
Eindhoven was chosen for the study trip after our benchmarking analysis of 351 cities confirmed that it’s one of the most interesting city in the world to visit in lighting. This is especially true of light for people, smart city lighting and climate and environmentally conscious lighting. The visitng program included the municipal leaders of urban development projects, the technical University of Eindhoven, the Strijp-S and Stratumseind 2.0 living labs, Philips High Tech Campus and The Edge – one of the world’s most sustainable & intelligent office building (Amsterdam).
