    The document discusses research on nighttime use of public streets and spaces. It lists several references on the topic, including books and reports from 1961 to 2009. It then outlines some key areas for consideration in planning and designing nighttime public spaces, including nighttime activities, spatial definition, evening/late night activity factors, participation in planning processes, mapping/drawing tools, and modeling tools. The overall aim appears to be better understanding use of public areas at night and how to plan for a variety of nighttime functions.
