“…Since its publication, Comedia Consultancy's report "Out of Hours: A study of economic, social and cultural life in twelve town centers in the UK" (1991) has been central in building the mainstream discourse that situates the origins of the nighttime leisure economy as the main strategy and mechanism behind the socioeconomic revitalization and urban regeneration of formerly rundown central areas of cities in the late 1980s Britain (e.g., Chatterton & Hollands, 2003;Law, 2000;Lovatt & O'Connor, 1995;Roberts, 2006;Roberts & Eldridge, 2009;Shaw, 2018; among many others).
