WGuangzhou has been the window for China’s foreign trade, a metropolitan city that has an antique beauty with a history of over two thousand years. The beautiful urban lighting of Guangzhou first caught the eye of the public during the 16th Asian Games held here in 2010. In the following years, Guangzhou, which is also the host city of the annual lighting event, the Guangzhou International Light Festival, has greatly promoted low-carbon and energy-saving technologies, installing over 130 000 LED street lamps in the suburbs. We are proud to be given the honour to hold LUCI’s Annual General Meeting in 2013, to be able to present to you what we’ve achieved, and above all, to share ideas and experience with all LUCI members on urban lighting strategy and development. Welcome and enjoy your stay in our city! Chen Jianhua Mayor of Guangzhou fter celebrating the 10th anniversary of the LUCI network in ASouth America last year, the LUCI Annual General Meeting 2013 in Guangzhou will offer a new and unique occasion for our network to continue broadening its international horizons. LUCI members will have the opportunity to discover one of China’s leading and pioneering cities in urban lighting. A city that has greatly invested in the use of new technologies to improve its street lighting, and that has sought to connect urban development and lighting design in the most harmonious way. Learning from other cities worldwide, Guangzhou also launched a light festival in 2011. It is in this unique context and culture of lighting that LUCI members are invited to reflect, discuss and debate on the network’s projects and perspectives. This AGM also opens even greater spaces and opportunities for participants to exchange on their lighting projects and festivals with a whole afternoon dedicated to the Open Conference sessions.
