Alternative nightlife in Praga Północ. Alternative nightlife zone in a post-manufacturing district of Warsaw in the experiences of nightlife entrepreneurs.

Abstract

In recent years Praga became a very popular nightlife destination in Warsaw. The characteristic feature of the nightlife in Praga is the alternative style of the venues and the interaction of the venues with various dimensions of their urban surrounding: built tissue, public spaces, local residents, and the members of the cultural and artistic community of Praga. The current thesis investigates the nature of the nightlife zone in Praga Północ and the ways in which it interacts with the urban context through the experiences of nightlife entrepreneurs.
