Product Description
In many western cities, urban nightlife is experiencing a 'McDonaldisation', where big branded names are taking over large parts of downtown areas, leaving consumers with an increasingly standardised experience.
This book takes a new look at this rapidly changing aspect of urban life, examining the relationships between young adults, nightlife and city spaces. It focuses on what the authors call 'urban nightscapes' - both mainstream and alternative youthful cultural activities in bars, pubs, night-clubs and music venues, which occur against a backdrop of increasing corporate influence in the night-time economy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Urban Nightscapes: Youth Cultures, Pleasure Spaces and Corporate Power (Critical Geographies) (Paperback)
This book presents a new and essential analysis of the changing face of British and World Nightlife. I thought it was brilliant and very readable whilst managing to demonstrate the impact of world corporatisation on our world and playspaces.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting approach to what is happening in our night scenes,
By Kit Kat ((UK)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Urban Nightscapes: Youth Cultures, Pleasure Spaces and Corporate Power (Critical Geographies) (Paperback)
It looks at the night life and what is occuring both from a European and an American perspective. It talks about specific places, that many can probably relate to. I used this for my dissertation which was about different culturally based bars in England. Although it doesn't go into a huge amount of detail about the effects of different culture/nationalities, it does go into a lot of depth about the actual culture of a night bar or restaurant.
Overall a very interesting read - worth getting if you have any interest in what has happened and what is changing in nightlife scenes!
