Urban Nightscapes by Paul Chatterton
In many western cities, urban nightlife is experiencing a 'McDonaldisation', where big branded names are taking over large parts of downtown areas, leaving consumers with an increasingly standardised experience. This book takes a new look at this rapidly changing aspect of urban life, examining the relationships between young adults, nightlife and city spaces. It focuses on what the authors call 'urban nightscapes' - both mainstream and alternative youthful cultural activities in bars, pubs, night-clubs and music venues, which occur against a backdrop of increasing corporate influence in the night-time economy.'I heard author Rob Hollands give a brilliant paper on the research that is reported in this book.. the book certainly matched the appeal ... An engaging read.' - Young People Now
'... a terrific book which adds yet another dimension to contemporary thinking on th meaning of the 'right to the city'.' - Cultural Geographies
