Dimensions overview
How we measureThe Index measures nighttime culture across six dimensions. Each dimension asks one question of every city, from how creative work is supported to what the night does for the environment.
Each dimension is built from two to eight indicators, 30 in all, and is scored from 0 to 100. Go through the dimensions to see what they measure, why it matters and how each city scores.
Dimension 5 of 6
Policy & Civic Health
How is nighttime culture protected and valued in governance structures and programmes, both within and outside of government?
Why it matters
A thriving nighttime culture can easily die out if it is not protected or supported by government and advocates. Because nighttime culture needs support, this dimension measures the conditions which help it thrive.
