Introduction to Becoming a Sociable City
Hospitality zones are
destinations for people to meet and to share food,
drinks, music and dance as they socialize. Properly
planned and managed, they can be a prosperous
investment, centralizing both attractions and services.
Successful hospitality zones enjoy revitalized economies
and neighborhoods with mixed use, shopping, offices, and
residential development. They also serve to enhance
attendance at stadiums, arenas and convention centers.
Unplanned
hospitality zones are costly, lead to conflicts,
excessive burden on police departments and demands to
elected officials to manage safety and quality of life
impacts.
Find out how to
harness the benefits of a safe and vibrant nightlife.
