While the night has long been associated with crime and fear, over
recent decades 'nightlife' 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.
