Public Space at Night

Unlike many researchers, for me the first major covid-19 lockdown I experienced, starting in March 2020, meant a reconnection with the object of my academic research, the night-time city. Both of my regular sources of exercise had gone; the daily walk as part of my commute to work was obviously out, and swimming pools were closed. With work and childcare commitments taking up the day, my partner and I took it in turns to take evening/night-time walks and runs, exercising when city streets were quiet and social distancing comparatively easy.
