While the night has long been associated with crime and fear, over recent decades ânightlifeâ has become increasingly associated with the creative economy, tourism, sociability, job growth, and urban regeneration. Debates about anti-social behaviour, morality, and safety continue to shape our understanding of the night but newer concerns have also emerged about gentrification, economic and social exclusion, commercialisation, and over-development. Exploring Nightlife: Space, Society and Governance is the first edited volume that critically examines nightlife from a cross-disciplinary and international perspective. Comprising original contemporary research, the collection brings together case studies from across the globe that explore topics including nightlife and urban development, race, gender and youth culture, alcohol and drug use, and urban renewal. In doing so, each chapter explores nightlife in relation to local and global structures of power and governance. Exploring Nightlife is an ideal introduction to the emerging field of night-time studies and will be a valuable resource for students and researchers with an interest in geography, cultural studies, sociology, youth, leisure, and urban studies.

Industry Reviews

A fascinating collection of research from around the world, providing illuminating case studies of cities undergoing profound social and economic changes after dark. Nightlife involves key aspects of urban governance and social justice, which are now major topics of interest in Human Geography; the editors are to be congratulated for achieving the difficult task of marshalling diverse international perspectives from a range of established and emerging scholars.
