Following years of supporting the Urban Pamphleteer through my role as Centre Manager of UCL Urban Laboratory, I was pleased to have the opportunity to co-edit an edition of the series relating to my own research interest of the urban night.

Published in December 2021, Urban Pamphleteer #9: Reimagining the Night took the form of a cross-European editorial collaboration with members of the HERA-funded NITE research project.

Working with my colleagues Kamila Krakowska Rodrigues (Leiden), Laura-Solmaz Litschel (Humboldt), Derek Pardue (Aarhus) and Katie Young (Limerick), our aim with the issue was to understand the future trajectory of urban night activity, management and policy in a ‘post-Covid’ Europe.

The issue engages perspectives from nightlife cultural organisers and associations, artists, industry representatives, policymakers, scholars and others, with a narrative focus on spaces important to migrant communities.

The digital version is available online, and physical copies are available on request.

In the same year, I had the opportunity to represent Urban Pamphleteer on an international stage through our invitation to Hamburg’s annual Indiecon publishing festival in September 2021. Over the weekend, hundreds of people visited our stall to chat, make enquiries about the series, and — most importantly — to pick up copies from our back catalogue.

The issue is available to view open access: urbanpamphleteer.org/reimagining-the-night
