Street Markets and the Social Life of Cities

This proposed volume begins with a deceptively difficult question about street markets and social inclusion. Historical and contemporary materials are used selectively, giving the reader enough conceptual depth to judge competing explanations. The emphasis is on street markets viewed through social inclusion, with maps, spatial evidence, field observations, and uncertainty-aware interpretations. Which mechanisms explain observed differences without confusing correlation with cause?
