The Nocturnal City

This book looks globally at the relationship between night and society in contemporary cities. It identifies that while theories of `planetary urbanisation¿ have traced the spatial spread of urban forms, the temporal expansion of urban capitalism has been less well traced. It explores a series of practices associated with the night-time city: the maintenance and repair of infrastructure, the aesthetics of the urban night, nightlife and night-time economy, the home at night, and the ecologies of the urban night. Taking these forward the book will explores the spaces and moments of the night-time city which push at the limit of what we call the urban, and will call for a revitalised and enhanced `nightology¿ to study these limits.
