At the end of the twentieth century our cities face a multitude of problems both of a spatial and functional nature. One of the key issues to be addressed is the limited time-9 a.m. to 5 p.m.-during which we utilize the facilities and opportunities that the city centre has to offer. The Twenty-four Hour City concept is a relatively recent approach of combining a series of wide-ranging initiatives to tackle this problem by revitalizing and creating safer city centres. The main aim of this approach is to attract a wide range of groups back into the city both to use the services and facilities that it has to offer and as residents. This paper will explore the key issues of the Twenty-four Hour City concept and examine the important initiatives that have been adopted in various cities in the UK.
