Public markets have historically been the civic spaces where the formal and informal, the planned and unplanned, the privileged and the marginalized, converge. At various points, planners and civic leaders have deemed different social and economic activities morally acceptable or unacceptable. By exploring the history of planning for the unplanned in public markets, we can better understand current trends in public spaces and the urban economy.
