What is the culture of a city after dark?

ADE and VibeLab are collaborating on a special project: the Nighttime Culture Index, a global first, launching at ADE Pro this October for 30 YEARS ADE. A public measure of the cultural vitality of the world’s nights, the first edition will research six cities across six continents: Amsterdam, Lagos, New York, São Paulo, Seoul, and Sydney.

If you’re part of the nighttime culture of any of these cities, whether you live there, work there, or know its night culture firsthand, we’d love to hear your perspectives. The survey is open now and takes under 10 minutes.

We’re happy to share that VibeLab has been invited to the Cities After Dark: Creative West Night-Time Economy Summit in Footscray on Friday, 28 August. 🌙

As cities everywhere grapple with questions of safety, vibrancy, economic resilience and community connection after dark, the City of Maribyrnong is bringing together some of the most innovative cultural thinkers to debate, explore and test the ideas behind its plans for an ambitious new project: Creative West.

What do you think about citizen co-created architecture? Could something like this benefit your city?

Bar culture is under increasing pressure: bars and clubs are relying ever more heavily on drink sales to fund their cultural programming — yet those very revenues are drying up. 🍸

The result is a slow withdrawal from public life, felt across thousands of venues worldwide. What can be done? Tax relief and targeted cultural funding are an important starting point. But there are individual pathways too: fundraising events, monthly community subscriptions that provide a favourite venue with a reliable baseline income.

Those who drink less alcohol can instead order premium mocktails, buy merchandise, or simply tip more generously. Small gestures that, added together, make a real difference.


DE:

Barkultur steht unter zunehmendem Druck: Bars und Clubs finanzieren ihr kulturelles Programm immer stärker über den Getränkeverkauf — doch genau diese Einnahmen brechen weg. 🍸

Das Ergebnis ist ein schleichender Rückzug aus dem öffentlichen Leben, der sich in Tausenden von Spielstätten weltweit bemerkbar macht.

Was lässt sich dagegen tun? Steuererleichterungen und gezielte Kulturförderung sind ein wichtiger Ansatzpunkt. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch individuelle Wege: Fundraising Events, monatliche Community-Abos, die den Lieblingsort mit einem verlässlichen Grundeinkommen stützen.

Wer weniger Alkohol trinkt, kann stattdessen hochwertige Mocktails bestellen, Merchandise kaufen oder einfach großzügiges Trinkgeld geben. Kleine Gesten, die in der Summe einen echten Unterschied machen.
