This book draws on international case study research to explain how changing approaches to evening and night-time activities have been conceptualized in planning practice in the UK. It explains how these ideas have been subverted by the entertainment industry to the point that some micro-districts in certain regenerated and creative cities have now been dubbed ‘no-go’ areas.
