Description

Can nightlife shape the future of our cities? 🧐

This week, together with co-host of the Nocturnal Cities series, Andreina Seijas, we talk to Michael Rodrigues, NSW’s first 24-Hour Economy Commissioner. We discuss how Sydney turned its nightlife into a strategic, community-driven, and culturally rich part of urban life.

We dive into:

✅ How Sydney’s nightlife moved from reactive to proactive

✅ Why alcohol isn’t the core of the night economy

✅ How culture and creativity act as the “mortar” binding a city

✅ How communities can lead sustainable nightlife change


🌙 This episode is part of a special Urbcast series on nighttime governance, co-designed by Andreina Seijas, international consultant and researcher and the founder of Night Tank. Follow HERE for upcoming episodes and join the conversation.
