| Abstract | This chapter springs from a project which examines the interrelation between night studies and urban design in England and Wales. Guidance for urban design mainly ignores black and ethnic minority experiences of exclusion in the time/space of the urban night. This omission illustrates the normative thinking that underpins urban planning for new urban extensions and regeneration projects. A striking exception comes from London with its Night Time Enterprise Zones which take inclusion, particularly for black and minority ethnic groups, seriously. Using secondary sources, this chapter discusses the potentials for and barriers to planning for cultural nocturnal encounters in the UK context of neoliberal governmentality, issues with policing, an economic crisis and post Brexit labour shortages. |
