235: 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.
Together we talk about:
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
