Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani appears in Burning questions: a more fire-prone world through the episode’s history of [[NewYorkCity|New York City]] nightlife regulation. The source says the cabaret law was revived in the 1990s under his mayoralty as part of crime-control politics, pushing parts of nightlife underground.

The wiki significance is source-scoped: Giuliani is not analyzed as a full political figure here. He matters because his enforcement approach represents a policing-first version of Nighttime Economy Governance, in contrast to later Nightlife Mayor roles that try to mediate between residents, venues, licensing systems, and city life.
