Retail planning for the 18 hour city

I have a concept that needs to be more fully developed, about planning the retail and entertainment mix for commercial districts by daypart (time of day) and customer segment. It's described in somewhat more detail in the report, A Commercial District Revitalization Framework Plan for Downtown Cambridge, Maryland, on pages 15-18.

But in response to a query I was looking again at the British Council of Shopping Centers website (in 2002 they published a very good report on Urban Design for Retail Environments) and found an interesting report on planning for night-time commerce. See:

Better Towns Centres at Night: Raising the Standard and Broadening the Appeal (2010)
