VibeLab is a globally operating research and consultancy agency specialised in nightlife. We work with cities, institutions, and communities to design data-driven strategies that activate underused urban spaces and support creative life before and after dark. With over a decade of experience, we develop ideas for transforming decommissioned buildings and vacant commercial spaces into cultural venues and hubs for the creative and cultural industries (CCI). Our work reimagines public infrastructure—developing mobile floating stages on waterways and introducing green soundproofing to make parks viable for open-air events. VibeLab helps cities unlock the social, cultural, and economic potential of nightlife. We translate complex urban and cultural data into actionable insights, connecting governments, local communities, and creative actors to shape inclusive, resilient, and vibrant urban environments.
