A night shift: planning for night time economies and workers in Australia

我们得谈谈那晚的事。如果城市现在越来越被认为是“24/7”的地方，那么人们很少关注他们的夜晚，更不用说那些通过支持1340亿美元的夜间经济来维持城市下班后运转的工人了。该项目旨在实现城市规划和政策中向夜间思维的必要转变。报告详细评估了澳大利亚14个首府和地区城市的夜间工作的作用。它调查了影响夜间工作的条件、贡献、声音和空间。它直接与地方议会合作，试验可转移的面向行动和政策准备的方法，寻求建立城市和城市研究的“夜间扫盲”能力。

We need to talk about the night. If cities are now increasingly recognised as ‘24/7’ places, little attention is paid to their nights and even less so to those workers who keep cities functioning afterhours by supporting a $134bn night-time economy. This project aims to deliver this needed shift to night-time thinking in urban planning and policy. It offers detailed assessments of the role of night-time work in 14 Australian capital and regional cities. It investigates conditions, contributions, voices and spaces that characterise night-time work. Partnering directly with local councils, it experiments with transferrable action-oriented and policy-ready methods, seeking to build capacity for ‘night literacy’ in cities and urban research.
