Guardian article: 'When Streets Become Supernatural': ‘The Joy Of Walking In Cities At Night’ by Nick Dunn
Originally shared: Tuesday 6 December 2016
"With technology whittling away at our attention spans, our sense of place is vanishing. In an extract from his new book "Dark Matters: A Manifesto for the Nocturnal City", Nick Dunn explains how a simple night-time stroll can help us to profoundly reconnect with our surroundings.

" . . . To reclaim some of what is being lost, I propose walking in the night. This is not the chest-beating, public declaration of protest as commonly understood, but a gently recalcitrant act against the confines of the daily grind. To venture into the “thickness” of the night is to experience, in a powerful and visceral way, a much broader world than that which exists during the daytime."
