The editors from Lisbon and London welcome proposals from across the social sciences, in particular geography, anthropology, urban planning, cultural studies and tourism.

»In recent decades the night-time economy has arisen as both a significant context for economic activity and a key strategy for the regeneration and branding of urban centres. While, in the past, the urban night was often seen as synonymous with sin, immorality and crime, in the post-industrial city it may be seen as a context where individuals exhibit social prestige and distinction. The night-time economy is equally important for the construction and reproduction of youth identities. However, nightscapes are clearly segmented. While alternative/ marginal night spaces might challenge social borders, mainstream night spaces and management strategies can reinforce the social, political and moral order of the neoliberal city through such initiatives as ‚zero-tolerance’ policies.«
