Resumen

• Markets are the origin of urban life as aplaces for social, cultural and economic encounter evolving over centuries. Today, they have a particular value as mostly independent, nn corporate and often informal work spaces serving millions of the most vulnerable communities across the world. At the same time, markets have become fashionable destinaations for "foodies" and middle class consumers and tourists looking for authenticity and heritage. The confluence of these potencially contradictory actors and their interests turn markets into "contested spaces".

  Contested markets, Contested Cities provided an analytical and multidisciplinary framework within which specific markets from Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Quito, Sofía, Madrid, London and Leeds (UK) are explored. This pioneering and highly original work examines public markets from a perspective of constestation looking at their role in processes of gentrification but also in political mobilisation and urban justice.
