Why do cities need nightlife? Join the May 10 Tuesday Forum. For two years, many cities limited indoor music and DJ events. Residents living near nightlife venues experienced peace and quiet without 2am disturbance. Now they ask Why do we need nightlife? https://t.co/EsTWkloAYE

Hundreds gathered to protest high rates of sexual violence in @CityBrussels #nightlife venues. The protest has sparked govt action against #VAWG. "If it’s not safe, don’t count on us women," say organizers. #SociableCity

The message was clear: “If things don't change in the streets, we won't go out anymore.”
