Description

This week on Urbcast, I’m joined by Amy Lamé, London’s first Night Czar, and Ariel Palitz, New York’s first Executive Director of the Office of Nightlife — two global pioneers who turned their cities’ nights into laboratories for inclusion and innovation.


Together with my co-host Andreina Seijas, we dive into how women are reshaping the meaning of nightlife governance — from equality and safety to culture and resilience:


✅ Why nightlife is an economic and social powerhouse

✅ The fight for women’s safety and inclusion after dark

✅ How the pandemic proved the value of the night economy

✅ The rise of 24-hour cities — and the women behind them


Nightlife isn’t just about fun — it’s about fairness, freedom, and the future of our cities.


🌙 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.
