Party On? The night-time economy and London's post-pandemic recovery
Listen now
Description
When the pandemic lockdown shut London's night-time economy overnight, the city became a ghost town. This highlighted starkly the importance of night-time economy to the city, making the Mayor's goal of a 24-hour city an important part of the post-pandemic recovery. In this City Bites podcast, we hear from two urban practitioners who share their insights on the importance of the night-time economy to London's recovery and its long-term economic success. For a start, it's not just about pubs and clubs. Laetitia Lucy is a social scientist working in the Integrated City Planning team at Arup with colleagues from economics, urban design, landscape architecture and planning disciplines. Mark Inger is a senior policy officer working on night-time enterprise zones ay the Greater London Authority. Bhavna Brooker, spatial planning programme lead at Transport for London, chaired the discussion.
