Markets are at the origin of urban life as places for social,
cultural and economic encounter evolving over centuries. Today,
they have a particular value as mostly independent, non-corporate
and often informal work spaces serving millions of the most
vulnerable communities across the world. At the same time, markets
have become fashionable destinations for 'foodies' and middle class
consumers and tourists looking for authenticity and heritage. The
confluence of these potentially contradictory actors and their
interests turns markets into "contested spaces". Contested Markets,
Contested Cities provides an analytical and multidisciplinary
framework within which specific markets from Mexico City, Buenos
Aires, Santiago de Chile, Quito, Sofia, Madrid, London and Leeds
(UK) are explored. This pioneering and highly original work
examines public markets from a perspective of contestation looking
at their role in processes of gentrification but also in political
mobilisation and urban justice.
