4th international
conference on nighttime
economy, culture,
urban development
and health issues
www.nights-conference.orgWelcome to the NIGHTS2018 Dear nightlife activists, policy makers, night venues’ managers, health professionals, urban planning specialists, festival organizers, night-ambassadors, academics, city elected officials, promoters, etc. After Padua and Berlin, this conference edition will invite you to think beyond the paradoxes and to keep up to date on the latest endeav- ours to promote an attractive nightlife and festival culture, for all. As the NIGHTS conferences wants to be part of the recognition of the important role music, dancing and going out has in every city and citizens’ life, we will continue to exchange on the four the- matic pillars; night-time economy, nightlife culture, urban develop- ment, safety and health issues. A special focus will be dedicated to urban-coexistence, nightlife-masterplans, night ambassador, drug policy, festival culture, leisure tourism and nightlife-bars. We hope you have a blast during NIGHTS. That you will get new ideas, the possibility to share experiences, to meet international ex- perts, with the possibility to enhance your networks and that you will not forget to plunge in the vibrant Brussels nightlife!

Nightlife Culture
Nightlife culture encourages cultural participation of the general popu-
lation, whether in the form of active cultural contributions or simply as
a passive observer enjoying the night. Despite often being described
as “apolitical”, experience shows that the integration and exchange of
music and dance can play an important role in spreading political issues.
Nighttime Economy
The nighttime economy has developed into an important economic
factor. Its potential lays not only in economics – for example in the
number of jobs created – it also sets trends. The benefits aren’t limited
to trades such as gastronomy, music or other creative industries; diverse
industrial areas have discovered and made use of the creative potential
connected to nightlife.
Urban Development
One of the greatest challenges is currently urban planning in regard
to nocturnal activities. The situation is further intensified through the
constant transformation of city centres in residential areas and the de-
crease of free spaces over the past decades. The question arises which
innovative urban planning strategies are need in order to make sure that
an attractive nightlife culture will also have place in the future cities.
Health & Safety
Celebrating is synonymous with pleasure and vitality, however excesses
have always belonged to this way of life. Individual risk behaviour affects
not only one’s own personal safety, but can also affect one’s behaviour,
therefore potentially endangering the safety of others.
