Because the Night Belongs to Us

This text is an epilogue to this special issue, where topics addressed by its different contributors are of a great scientific interest towards more profound understanding about the urban night in both the Global North and South. As will be argued below, this special issue allows us to confirm two fundamental issues for the develop- ment of « Night Studies » in the next years. Firstly, the night often exacerbates the range of inequalities not only in the Western world but in non-Western cities. And, secondly, the night remains as an underexplored terrain, and, therefore, there is still a long path to walk.
