“…The night-time economy concept emerged in the early 1990s and emanated predominantly from Britain, registering the shift in the structures and rhythms of work, leisure and urban space, and signalling a significant move from nine-to-five industrial labour and weekend leisure to a more fluid context of task and service-oriented work articulating with 24-hour city leisure practices (Roberts and Eldridge 2007;Winlow and Hall 2006). In particular, the deindustrialization of the inner city, producing large derelict factory, warehouse and waterfront spaces, stimulated a search for a new service-oriented urban economy organized around leisure services (Stevenson 2003).…”

The concept of the night-time economy emerged in Britain in the early 1990s in the context of strategies to counter de-industrialization and inner-urban decline. Despite registering a shift towards more fluid, fragmented and diversified structures and rhythms of work, leisure and urban space, a framework that acknowledges cultural complexity has not, in practice, characterized night-time economy policy. After-dark cultural complexity has been obscured, instead, by a discursive concentration on those night-time economy leisure practices entangled with rapid, high-level consumption of alcohol, especially among young people. This reductionist discourse -oscillating between stimulating and controlling leisure cultures -has restricted policy development within a complex governance environment composed of many (in)formal organizations and levels of government. This article addresses the confusing, contradictory influence of a polarized night-time economy policy agenda and exposes the contrasting multilayered complexities of the diverse cultural practices of urban nightlife. By engaging with cultural complexity as integral to the city after dark, new conceptual trajectories are proposed that can point the way towards a more effective framework for understanding the lived experience of night-time culture.

“…By contrast, the Census carried out in 2011 found that 35.1% of the population of Sofia was 50 or older (National Statistics Institute, 2012). However, it should be noted that those mobile at night, at least for the purpose of leisure, are often younger than the overall population (Roberts and Eldridge, 2007). Thus, while the sample may not be representative of the wider population, it provides insights into the experiences of those groups at which night transport services are most likely to be aimed.…”

However, the theoretical approaches taken under this broad heading vary greatly. Historically, scholarship on women and transport has relied on positivist, and arguably somewhat essentialist, comparisons of the travel behaviour of men and women (Joelsson and Lindkvist Scholten, 2019, p. 3). Such research has been important in documenting inequalities, for instance in terms of travel times, access to private cars, ability to reach job opportunities, share of income spent on mobility, and experiences of vulnerability (Kwan and Kotsev, 2014;Lecompte and Bocarejo, 2017). More recently, work on mobility has increasingly explored relational, embodied and situated understandings of how gendered inequalities are produced and reproduced by and through mobility (

“…Feeling uncomfortable in a space may lead older people to retreat into familiar spaces (Blackman et al, 2007), and expanses of empty space can intimidate people with dementia (Mitchell & Burton, 2006). The development of urban night-time economies heavily focused on younger people has had negative outcomes for other groups, leading to attempts to (re)create inclusive night-time economies (Tiesdell & Slater, 2006;Roberts & Eldridge, 2007).…”
