With the recent announcement of the Mayor of London’s new Nightlife Taskforce to help support the capital’s revival as a leading 24-hour global city, how do we create better and safer night-time environments not just for party goers, but for vulnerable people and night-time workers travelling to and from work?

Watch back this talk with speakers from across sectors and organisations who discussed the priorities in implementing an effective strategy for London’s night-time economy, with strategies re-purposing public spaces and innovating through meanwhile interventions. Our panel considered the role that developers and the private sector can play in making spaces feel safer at night.
