Image of the cover of the journal. It shows and illuminated church behind a number of chairs and colorfully lit up umbrellas. Text: Volume 2 Issue 6, June 2025 Cities after dark The city never sleeps. Increasingly, urban research follows.

There are 8 #NightStudies articles in the new #NatureCities issue, here's a quick rundown.

First, an editorial from the journal about the importance of night in urban studies: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-025-00272-4 (1/8)

Con instalación luminosa, migrantes rumanos evocan la nostalgia por su tierra - Gaceta UNAM "Mi-e-dor De Tine" ("Te echo de menos" en español), iluminan las noches en ciudades europeas o de América a sus ciudadanos que han dejado su lugar de origen
