    Night Moves: Navigating Post-Party Mobility Challenges in NYC
    In this thesis, I investigate the complex relationship between nightlife and transportation in New York City, a metropolis renowned for its dynamic cultural scene and bustling streets. Through the lens of transportation, it explores the significance of nocturnal activities for both residents and visitors, considering the role played by these activities in socialization, cultural expression, and identity formation, particularly among the city's youth. Using visual comparisons between day and night, and between the city and a scenario devoid of nightlife, the study illuminates the profound impact of nocturnal activities on the city's social fabric. Analyzing the gradual dispersion of clusters—both residential and tourist-oriented—in relation to nightlife hotspots yields insights into their symbiotic relationship.

    The thesis highlights transportation as a vital facilitator, showing how modes of transit such as subways, Citi bikes, and taxis foster connectivity, safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness in the nocturnal landscape. Through visual representations and analyses of night cab ridership, subway usage, and demographic shifts, the study provides a comprehensive picture of the intertwined dynamics of nightlife and transportation, offering valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and residents alike.
