Abstract
Few public spaces are more universally touted as representative of the parochialism of place than the market. What then does the narrative of a city’s markets tell us about narrative of place and space in that city itself? A field trip to some of Beijing’s markets becomes a meditation upon the role of markets in the construction of place in a 21st century urban context.
