Spaces for trading have been at the centre of urban life for millennia. Aside from religious spaces (how we relate to the divine) and defensive spaces (how we relate to the outsider), trading spaces are arguably one of the most pro-found generators of the urban fabric. It is a space in which society interacts at its most profound - the space in which we relate to each other and on which our livelihoods as urban dwellers were generated for much of history. We need only to examine the ancient cities such as Athens and Priene with their Agora's or Ancient Rome with their Markets of Trajan, or the medieval cities such as Krakow to see the fundamental place that the market place had in the civic life of those urban dwellers. Though in recent times, particularly post-industrialisation, the fragmentation of the urban fabric in conjunction with large scale capitalism has led to the decentralisation and rationalisation of sig-nificant trading spaces, open market places still serve a valuable purpose in the urban context.(fragment of text)

Ten artykuł powstał w wyniku uczestnictwa w Międzynarodowej Konferencji Urbanistycznej w Gdańsku zatytułowanej 'The Modern agora for building open society'. Artykuł skupia się wokół procesu partycypacji publicznej dotyczącej formowania i zarządzania głównymi przestrzeniami nieformalnego handlu w centrum Durbanu - Warwick Junction Markets. Artykuł opisuje historię, rozwój i funkcjonowanie wyżej wymienionych przestrzeni. Artykuł także budu-je na kilku paralelach pomiędzy kontekstem tejże przestrzeni targowej a ogól-nymi obserwacjami dotyczącymi rynków Europy Centralnej. W podsumowaniu zawarto wnioski wyciągnięte z Warwick Junction Markets jako przyczynki do dyskusji dotyczącej aspektów wartych wprowadzenia w innych przestrzeniach targowych w kontekście międzynarodowych warsztatów.(abstrakt oryginalny)
