The City After Dark - Air Space Project

“The city after dark is always in a process of becoming, arguably even more so than the city during the daytime, since boundaries of identity and place may appear more ambiguous and be less easy to perceive” (Dunn, 2022: 4)
The City After Dark was a workshop and night walk organised as part of the Air Space Project by the University of Manchester.

“Air Space: Creating a Community-Integrated Network of Interdisciplinary Research on Socio-Atmospherics” is a one year, exploratory study funded by The University of Manchester Research Institute (UMRI) concerned with: air’s role in health and welfare inequality; the political and contested nature of air and how it is used, polluted, measured and changed; the spatial politics of air as a part of urban environments and shared living spaces; and the social functions and meanings of air as part of home, community and everyday life.
