Humble Lamppost

This Humble Lamppost 7-points action plan seeks to accelerate progress and blends both top-down and bottom-up activities. The Integrated Infrastructure Action Cluster, Humble Lamppost initiative, asks all relevant stakeholders to support this strategic action plan and help with its realisation.

The Management Framework provides a practical guide through the complete step-wise process of evaluating then implementing a smart lamppost solution. One where the city can exploit its existing lighting assets; upgrade them to low energy luminaires; and add ‘smart’ features at the same time (WiFi, environmental monitoring, eVehicle charging and the like).It is an open deliverable that works alongside a number of other referenced documents (e.g. the DIN spec) and is intended for broad use by EU cities; and in time will be offered to the international Standards Development Organisations for adoption/adaption and publication  

Overview of the main documents and activities concerning Humble Lamppost Initiatives explained by Graham Colclough.  

The Leadership Guide is principally for leaders and decision makers in European cities, from small to large – political and executive; also for industry captains that serve cities; utility, and city financiers. It offers thoughts on how existing and new city assets (the ‘humble lamppost’) can be exploited to deliver far more than just light – to offer a wide range of services to cities and society
