This edited volume portrays marketplaces from a mobility
perspective as dynamic and open entities consisting of flows of
people, goods and ideas. There is a renewed interest in research
and policy arenas in marketplaces as the core of cities' spatial
and economic development and sociocultural life, as incubators of
urban renewal and platforms of alternative consumption models and
as source of livelihood for many people worldwide. Contributions of
this book draw on notions of movements, representations and
practices to illustrate that markets have physical reality but are
also culturally and socially encoded, and experienced through
practice. It brings together empirically evidenced scholarly and
practice-based works from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, Peru, Brazil,
Vietnam, South Africa and India. This book is primarily intended
for scholars and graduate students of urban geography, urban design
and planning, sociology, anthropology, who are interested in the
relation between place and mobility in general, and markets as
'knots' in the city, in particular. It also informs policy-makers
how urban planning policies and design interventions for
marketplaces may foster more socially inclusive and environmentally
just cities. Chapters 1, 12, and 13 of this book are available for
free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page
