Up all night
In our big summer issue, we refute doomsayers pushing for after-dark curfews and discuss the benefits of neighbourhoods that aren’t afraid to stay up late.
Asia
Learn a few moves from China’s “dancing grannies” and find out how the volume is being turned down on Hong Kong’s tramcars.
Oceania
How the Gold Coast is preparing for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Plus: Tasmania’s tourism boom.
Nightlife expo
We discover what goes down after sunset in Thessaloniki, Tokyo and Beirut.
Europe
The German city that is a favourite among twilight types and how e-bikes will help to ease traffic in Belgium.
Artist studios: changing spaces
The affordability of artists’ studios is a good judge of cultural quality of life. We visit Havana, Hong Kong and Leipzig, three cities where vibrant life meets cheap space to forge creative success.
Dark arts
How can cities that claim to never sleep better serve their night-time economies? We visit London, Sydney and Buenos Aires to find out if late-night venues and services are truly accessible for everyone.
