In The Gentrification of Nightlife and the Right to the City, Hae
explores how nightlife in New York City, long associated with
various subcultures of social dancing, has been recently
transformed as the city has undergone the gentrification of its
space and the post-industrialization of its economy and society.
This book offers a detailed analysis of the conflicts emerging
between newly transplanted middle-class populations and different
sectors of nightlife actors, and how these conflicts have led the
NYC government to enforce "Quality of Life" policing over nightlife
businesses. In particular, it provides a deep investigation of the
zoning regulations that the municipal government has employed to
control where certain types of nightlife can or cannot be located.
Hae demonstrates the ways in which these struggles over nightlife
have led to the "gentrification of nightlife," while infringing on
urban inhabitants' rights of access to spaces of diverse urban
subcultures -- their "right to the city." The author also connects
these struggles to the widely documented phenomenon of the
increasing militarization of social life and space in contemporary
cities, and the right to the city movements that have emerged in
response. The story presented here involves dynamic and often
contradictory interactions between different anti/pro-nightlife
actors, illustrating what "actually existing" gentrification and
post-industrialization looks like, and providing an urgent example
for experts in related fields to consider as part of a
re-theorization of gentrification and post-industrialization.
