The together with the VCC - Vienna Club Commission, VibeLab, and SafeNow, is launching a new pilot project: Neighbourhoods for All in Vienna’s Westgürtel.

The main aim of the project is to explore how nightlife and entertainment districts can be made safer through stronger collaboration between clubs, organisers, and local communities while reducing reliance on enforcement.

If you’re based in the area, you can get involved right away and help kick-start the project. Here’s how:

Take the survey:

Do you go out, work, or live around the Gürtel? Take part in the survey and download the SafeNow app (links in bio). You can use the app outside of SafeNow Zones worldwide as your personal alarm system with family and friends.

Join a focus group:

Are you a venue operator, event organiser, or working in safety (e.g. security or awareness)? Join one of our focus groups!

Die Nighttime Foundation startet gemeinsam mit der VCC, VibeLab und SafeNow ein neues Pilotprojekt: „Neighbourhoods for All” im Wiener Westgürtel.

Das Hauptziel des Projekts besteht darin, zu untersuchen, wie Nacht- und Vergnügungsviertel durch eine engere Zusammenarbeit zwischen Clubs, Veranstaltern und lokalen Communities sicherer gestaltet werden können, während gleichzeitig der Rückgriff auf polizeiliche Maßnahmen reduziert wird.

Wenn du in der Gegend wohnst, kannst du dich sofort einbringen und dabei helfen, das Projekt auf den Weg zu bringen. So geht’s:

Nimm an der Umfrage teil:
Gehst du aus, arbeitest oder wohnst du in der Nähe des Gürtels? Nimm an der Umfrage teil und lade die SafeNow App herunter (Links in der Bio). Auch außerhalb von SafeNow Zonen kannst du die App weltweit als eigenes, privates Alarmsystem mit Familie und Freunden verwenden.

Nimm an einer Fokusgruppe teil:
Bist du Betreiber eines Veranstaltungsortes, Veranstalter oder im Sicherheitsbereich tätig (z. B. Sicherheit oder Awareness) Nimm an einer unserer Fokusgruppen teil!

Noise in the city needs to be negotiated again and again. 📢📢📢

That’s why cities need strong mediators, such as a Night Commission, Night Czar, or Night Mayor. When you have mediator, you also need a strategy. Project Soundscapes Futures in collaboration with the and .iao is a great example, exploring scalable solutions for integrating green infrastructure into nightlife districts to help mitigate noise pollution.

Back in February, we had an inspiring discussion in Lisbon.

Together with , , and , we launched the Lisbon After Dark Trilogy a three-part series exploring nighttime culture, the nighttime economy, and the role of the night in Lisbon’s cultural ecosystem.

In the second session, we spoke with people from across Lisbon’s cultural landscape to look at the night not as “party” or “consumption,” but as a breeding ground for artistic expression, talent, experimentation, and community.

This was one of the key messages that emerged from the conversation. Full article in our linktree.

Amsterdam’s night is not in decline. It is evolving and the data shows it. VibeLab is proud to announce the launch of Amsterdam’s largest-ever night culture needs assessment report.

In collaboration with the Municipality of Amsterdam (Team Nachtcultuur) and PennPraxis, we surveyed residents to better understand how the city experiences and values its night.

The findings are clear: more than 90% of respondents participate in night culture, most go out several times a month, and demand for diverse, accessible, and inclusive spaces remains strong.

The full report that is delivered in Dutch is ready to be downloaded on a link in our bio!

Last week, we released the London Nightlife Taskforce Report at Colour Factory — a year of work with hundreds of voices helping shape 23 recommendations across 10 key areas. 🙏

Nightlife is part of London’s culture, but like many cities across the world it has struggled in recent years.

That’s why set up an Independent Nightlife Taskforce. Over the past year this group of experts have come together to discuss how to make our nightlife work better for everyone.

Listening to nearly 3,000 Londoners and reviewing up to date research, the Taskforce has created a clear plan for the future of our city at night.

The key recommendation is creation of an independent London Nightlife Commission to be a unified voice for the industry and champion the delivery of the recommendations.

🌙 Nighttime is more than nightlife.

On Monocle Radio during World Economic Forum in Davos, Mirik Milan & Georgia McDonnell-Adams shared why the nighttime economy matters. From safety and creative talent to real economic impact.

💬 “1 in 10 people work in the nighttime economy contributing around 3% of global GDP.”
💬 “When people think nightlife, they think drinking and dancing, but night is also about getting home safely and developing creative talent.”

Cities don’t stop at sunset. Neither should policy, investment, or imagination.
Thanks to Monocle radio for having us and creating space for this important conversation.
