Glowing City Project Launched in Reykjavík

The City of Reykjavík has launched the project “Glowing City” (Ljómandi borg) in conjunction with the relighting of Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island, off Reykjavík’s coast, to commemorate her late husband John Lennon’s birthday, 9 October.

The project involves white lights that will glow in different places in the city centre and in primary meeting places in city districts to celebrate winter. The purpose is to raise the public’s awareness of beautiful places and curious opportunities that lie within city limits, visir.is reports.

Mayor of Reykjavík Hanna Birna Kristjánsdóttir said the project “Bright Reykjavík” of last summer had proven highly successful and that “Glowing City” is being organised in continuation of that project. She hopes it will cheer inhabitants up and make the city more homey and fun.
