Welcome to LUCIA project blog!

Urban development is a skill. It is a democratically driven vision and professional design. It is a combination of land use solutions, architecture, geo-technics and investment. It is about recognizing and responding to the needs of the citizen. It is a prerequisite for urban life.

This page monitors the construction of a pedestrian route in accordance with the urban plan on the Porvoo Länsiranta area. In particular, monitoring focuses on the design and implementation of lighting solutions along the route. This is because the investment in lighting is backed by the LUCIA project, which focuses on smart urban lighting. Have a look at the entire project here.
