Creative Footprint (CFP) is a data-driven research project by nighttime advocacy agency VibeLab, that studies creative spaces and communities to examine the cultural value and impact of music and nightlife in the city. Creative Footprint has researched cities as Tokyo, New York, Berlin Stockholm, Montreal and Sydney. More and more cities will be added which gives a deep insight of the night clubs and creative spaces have on the cultural and urban landscape of cities. Our methodology goes beyond economic impact, prioritising original content, interdisciplinary connections, and cross-functional spaces for thriving local scenes. In the end it’s all about the people that make up the night.
