- 65 - Sabu Mathai: Climate Change will Redefine 'Nighttime Economy'
Deny climate change all you want. The reality is that 2023 was the Earth's warmest year since global recordkeeping began in 1850. The ten warmest years in 174 years have all occurred during the last decade.
WebsiteFacebookXInstagramYouTubeLinkedIn"Cover of Darkness: Extreme Heat and the Nighttime Economy" by Sabu Mathai and Casey Logan (February 13, 2024)
2024 will likely be hotter.
So, how will shifts in extreme heat affect daytime business operations and what will that do to nocturnal economic activity?
Prepare yourself.
Nighttime transportation. Nighttime policing. Nighttime healthcare. Nighttime hospitality. Nighttime drains on the energy grid. Government and business collaborations. All these and more will change ... will need to change ... due to climate-related business adaptations.
How so? We explore this topic with Sabu Mathai, sustainability research director for the international consultancy Gartner.

The City of Dallas has joined the ranks of American cities that have embraced the potential for their nighttime and sociable economies.
Dallas’ formalized interest in the nighttime economy began in 2015 with two grassroots political advocacy initiatives which lead to the creation of 24HourDallas, a non-profit organization.
Accelerated by the work of the consultancy, Responsible Hospitality Institute, and cemented by buy-in from city of Dallas elected officials and staff, Dallas reached a new milestone in the fall of 2023 when it approved hiring an individual who is dedicated to serve as the internal specialist for the Texas city’s nighttime ecosystem.
In this episode of Nighttime Economy, the podcast from 24HourNation, we speak with that newly hired expert, Nathan Armstrong, and learn what strides he has already made … and has planned.CITY OF DALLAS LINKS

But what caught my attention is a surprising blip of discrimination that has begun to appear on the diverse and inclusive radar of nighttime and cultural economies.
Imagine being an artist and someone looking at you as if you’re too old to be an artist anymore.
In this episode of Nighttime Economy, we speak with high-profile Berlin DJ, Tanith. He will not only school me a bit on techno dance music [chuckle] he will also tell the tale of hearing someone tell him, "You’re the last of the old ones."

As you might imagine, there are dozens of consultancies in the world that provide research and counsel in the fields of nighttime, nightlife, and cultural economies.
It used to be that communities would retain these individuals or groups to help assess opportunities, list cultural assets, identify cultural consumer habits, and then recommend strategies on how the community can strengthen their nightlife and nighttime cultural scenes.
That does not seem to be enough anymore.
I mean, why stop there? Why not be a bit more aggressive and help communities plan and add the new cultural assets they need to generate more economic and social value?We will explain in this episode of Nighttime Economy, as we speak with Jett Glozier, Global Head of Business Development for Sound Diplomacy in the UK.

As BT understates on its website, "Data is useful." However, BT's data analytics group goes on to explain that mobile network data provides just the first piece of a puzzle. "We blend data with innovative analytics technology, to give your business measurable insights you can take action on."
Website
The BT Active Intelligence unit takes the location data from more than twenty-four million phones. Ensuring anonymity and aggregation to groups of ten or more individuals, BT overlays the physical movements of people with other data to provide invaluable insights.
Such was the case when BT Active Intelligence began to map out activity in UK’s 24-hour economy. And, never before had they specifically gained insights on UK’s nighttime economy until it conducted analysis that resulted in the report, “Cities After Dark: Shining a Light on the 24-Hour Economy.”
Released Jan. 31, 2024, this new flight of “active intelligence” revealed that UK’s nighttime economy is “about much more than bars, restaurants and clubs. With 8.7 million people working between the hours of 6pm and 6am, it’s an economic powerhouse that creates jobs, drives growth and makes towns and cities more appealing for residents and visitors.”
The global applications for mobility insights and the night are mind-blowing. Hold onto your hats as we speak with Sara Rodriguez Terres in this edition of Nighttime Economy.

When those around the world think of American cities with a nightlife scene, they would rattle off cities like New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, among others. However, if you ask someone from the States where live music is made, celebrated, and integral to that American city’s nighttime identity, odds are they will have one answer: Nashville, Tennessee.

Depending on your information source, Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton have larger populations than Ottawa, Canada’s capital city.
Ottawa’s nighttime economic impact equals $1.2 billion dollars, one-third of the city’s daytime economic activity.Residents, rather than visitors, generate 84% percent of that nighttime ‘spend.’Eighty-eight percent of Ottawa residents agree that a vibrant nightlife is important to them.
To one degree or another, the cities with larger populations are known for their nightlife, hospitality, sporting events, and festivals.
Yet, Ottawa was the first Canadian city to step up and frame a nightlife strategy.
Edmonton and Vancouver are currently developing plans, and Montreal’s nighttime advocates certainly want the City of Montréal to do the same.
But then, bam, from back in pack, Ottawa does a full-out sprint and breaks the tape first to create a city council-endorsed nightlife economy strategy. And it is a strategy that prioritizes the creation of a paid nightlife commissioner.
Here are key discoveries:As such, residents receive the focus in Ottawa’s nightlife action plan.
The City of Ottawa also distinguishes between nightlife and nighttime economy. And important elements of the city’s nightlife culture are sporting events. That is a distinguishing factor.
These are just a few of the intriguing insights provided in our 24 Minutes podcast episode with Emmanuel Rey. Listen in.LEARN MORE ABOUT OTTAWA

In 2012, Amsterdam was the first city to officially designate an individual (Mirik Milan) as Nachtburgemeester, or “night mayor.” In 2014, nighttime stakeholders formed Stichting N8BM A’DAM, the Night Mayor Foundation of Amsterdam, to strengthen, sustain, and further define the terms of office for the city’s night mayor.
This year, stakeholders publicly elected poet and spoken word performing artist Freek Wallagh as Amsterdam’s latest Nachtburgemeester.

In cities across America, permits, regulations and ordinances make it difficult for aboveboard planners of after-hours events to be treated differently than unscrupulous promoters.
However, one Dallas event producer named, yes, John Wayne, wants to do it the right way.
We’ll have an eye-opening conversation with John about:
after-hours parties, and why they are essential to a segment of our society;how there is not a clear regulatory path for those wanting to present nighttime events; andan idea that might just help.The challenges John Wayne faces in Dallas are not unique to the Lone Star State. Most cities across North America do not know what to do with 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., alcohol-free after-hours events.
How will cities begin to permit these events in order for above-board promoters to operate with transparency?

When it comes to nightlife, the City of Sacramento, California, takes a team approach.
If a venue intends to provide entertainment, it must obtain a two-year permit. The entertainment permit evaluates the conditions necessary for a venue to provide entertainment − from sporting events and live music venues to theaters and exhibitions. (There is a separate entertainment permit for special events.)
During the permit process, city representatives inspect the venue for state and city building codes, fire, plumbing, electrical codes and zoning regulations. Corrections must be addressed before the city will issue a permit.
The city’s nationally recognized Entertainment Permit Program is responsible for these permits. To ensure a safe, festive and successful nightlife, the program’s manager also convenes representatives from code enforcement, police, fire, building inspection and the state’s alcohol regulating agency.
This team approach was a significant asset following the April 3, 2022, mass shooting in a downtown Sacramento nightlife district.
