Music City Studies through 2021

Many cities have stepped into new organizing models for local change as “Music Cities” and with “Night Mayors” — with all sorts of new and creative structures. Some have worked well; others have had challenges. What helped build resilience for the current live economy crisis across the world and in local communities?
A wonderful recent study has been published by Andreina Seijas from Harvard on the night mayor movement published in Urban Studies (subscription required):
