Beschrijving

Urban researchers and policymakers are increasingly taking the night seriously as a distinct domain of governance.

Positioned at the intersection of night studies and urban policy mobilities, this lunch seminar examines Atlanta’s recent attempts to manage the city after dark. By tracing how Atlanta has assembled its nighttime governance apparatus and the regulatory spaces through which it operates, Jean-Paul Addie contends that the city’s political regime has myopically reproduced the night as an object of regulation, reinforcing a nocturnal pathology that supersedes collective claims to the night as a space‑time for inclusive planning and alternative urbanisms.

Deploying a conjunctural analysis, the lunch talk advances our understanding of the temporalities of mobile urban policymaking and the potential to govern the urban night’s expansive possibilities in more equitable and imaginative ways.
