Market Cities: How public markets can pump life into regional food economies and forge social cohesion?
27/10/2020 - 27/10/2020
Ancient mechanisms that champion biodiversity, traditional foods and regionalism, most public markets operate within hostile environments.
They are also endangered by uninformed development, civil war, poor management and under-investment. And yet, the souqs, bazaars, farmers markets, street markets, market halls and the many names and shapes they come in somehow defy the odds and survive.
This webinar will explore not only how to ensure that these long overlooked institutions thrive, but explore creative measures to bring public markets to the next level — as civic conveners to connect rural to urban, social life to commerce, and behavior change into everyday people’s lives.
