Featuring publications of relevance to our industry, including those cited in SDS e-newsletter lead articles and suggested additional reading, we’ve recently relaunched the SDS Reader’s Corner book of the month page. Each month we will showcase a suggested read that relates to our professional areas of interest, be it a seminal publication or something more tangential. We hope the books we select will offer you insights and inspiration.
If you any suggestions of books, particularly newly published ones, that you think would be of inte arest to our community, please email us: enquiries@signdesignsociety.co.uk.
For December ’25 we feature Women After Dark: How Cities Keep Failing Women After Dark by Nourhan Bassam (published independently, on 5 October 2025).
Synopsis
“A ground breaking book that reframes the night as a lived reality rather than a spectacle or stereotype. It explores concepts such as genderfication, how urban development reshapes neighbourhoods, and the policies, economies, and cultures that determine who the city at night is for.”
