About Us

24HourNation

We no longer live in a nine-to-five world.

Demographic shifts, globalization, the internet and the coronavirus pandemic have accelerated changes in how, when and where we live, work and socialize.

24HourNation focuses on the nighttime potential for our towns and cities … other than as a medium for fear.

Large and small, municipalities have an unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on 24-hour economies and to manage the night in 21^st century ways.

Nighttime workers have needs not considered by daytime thinkers (who are likely from a different socioeconomic group).

Artists, environmentalists, urban planners, administrators, volunteers and stakeholder alliances from around the world are investing in the night and elevating the importance of our 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. culture.

Through its website, social media, podcasts and webinars, 24HourNation explores highlights, opportunities and challenges found in 24-hour economies.
