Abstract(s)
In the twentieth century, several transformations occurred in the way society used and perceived urban
lighting. This allowed the growth of leisure and other activities related to free time and culture into the
night period. Night gained an increasing importance among urban policies and therefore required to be
framed within these complex urban contexts as well as other planning processes. This article addresses the
Polis Program and its contribution to the improvement of Costa de Caparica’s nightlife. It aims to analyse
the urban renewal intervention of the Polis Program at Costa de Caparica in terms of night economy and
sustainability concerns, in light of Egan’s sustainable communities’ components. The argument is that the
planning of night can contribute to the construction of a sustainable community. The main conclusions
focus on the importance that should have been given to governance, public participation and equity components of Egan’s wheel along the implementation of the programme, as well as in planning processes
broadly, towards achieving a sustainable nightlife.
