The Mayor Recognises That Street Planning for Markets: Understanding the role of planning policy and management approaches in sustaining markets in London Rosita Aiesha Bartlett School of Planning University College London (UCL) MPhil Town Planning 1 I, Rosita Aiesha, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ………………………………….. 2 Abstract Over the last decade, there has been a growing interest amongst policy makers in the market’s potential role in contributing to solutions in key social and economic public policy agendas. In particular, Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres suggests that markets have a role to play in revitalising town centres and offering retail choice. To date, very little is known about the contemporary relevance of markets and specifically why markets have been prioritised in retail planning policy and received public policy interest. This paper investigates these issues further. Through a literature review, it develops a conceptual and contextual framework for understanding markets. It then draws on empirical research, i.e. survey and interview data from a study of London boroughs and a case study of one London Local Authority (Camden), to highlight the effects of current day-to-day management and planning approaches in sustaining markets. The research demonstrates that the contemporary role of the market is multidimensional, e.g. they appear to play significant roles as managed public space but also act as an important social and economic space, particularly for marginal social groups. Moreover, the empirical evidence shows that, whilst proactive planning policies do not guarantee a vibrant market, they can play a key part in protecting their permanent loss; however, equally important is the supportive management approaches taken in shaping their social survival. The research findings have relevance for the theorisation of markets in a contemporary context, as well as implications for the practical effects of planning policy intervention on markets. 3 Table of Contents Table of Contents ........................................................................................... 4 Tables ............................................................................................................ 6 Map ................................................................................................................ 6 Chapter One: Introduction .............................................................................. 7 1.

[email protected] 2 Computer Science Faculty, Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12550, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: The obligation to keep a distance from other people due to the pandemic has changed human life patterns, especially in shopping for their primary needs, namely food. The presence of the food marketplace presents new hope in maintaining health and food availability without crowding with other people while shopping. The main problem that is often a concern of the public when shopping online is transaction security and the Ease of use of this food marketplace applica- tion. This research is the intensity of using the Food Marketplace in terms of Interest, transaction security, and Ease of use of this application.Researchers analyzed the relationship between varia- bles with the Structural equation model. Respondents who became this sample were 300 applica- tion users spread across various major cities in Indonesia.This study's results provide a view that the intensity of the food marketplace's use has increased significantly during the new normal life.

  • Mandaluyong City, Philippines
    MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Public Buildings) Project Summary: Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines, has the eighteenth largest metropolitan area in the world, which includes fifteen cities and two municipalities. Mandaluyong City is the smallest city of the cities in Metro Manila, with an area of only twelve square kilometers and a population of over 278,000 people. A public market was located in the heart of Mandaluyong City, on a 7,500 square meters area along Kalentong Road, a main transit route. In 1991, the market was destroyed in a major fire, in large part because most of the structure was made of wood. As a temporary answer for the displaced vendors, the government allowed about 500 of them to set up stalls along the area’s roads and sidewalks. This rapidly proved to be impractical, in that it led to both traffic congestion and sanitation problems. Rebuilding the public market became a high priority for the city government, but financing a project with an estimated cost of P50 million was beyond the city’s capability. Local interest rates were high, averaging approximately 18 percent annually, and the city was not prepared to take on the additional debt that construction of a new market would have required. The city government was also concerned that if the charges to stall owners became too onerous, the increased costs would have to be passed on to their customers, many of whom were lower-income residents of the area. The answer to this problem that the city government decided to utilize was based on the Philippines’ national Build-Operate-Transfer law of 1991.

  • The Workplace Food Hall & the Future of the Company
    THE WORKPLACE FOOD HALL & THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY CAFETERIA Everyone loves great food. Over the past few decades, we’ve gone from a culture that placed a premium on meals of convenience — microwave dinners, fast food, anything that comes out of a box — to one that increasingly values delicious, high-quality food experiences. We no longer settle for whatever is easiest or cheapest. We now live in an age where people will happily drive miles out of their way to grab a gourmet grilled cheese from a food truck with great Yelp reviews. We also crave variety, authenticity, and value in our meals. Present us with a predictable and lackluster menu, and we notice. If the food isn’t great, we probably won’t come back if we have better options. That’s even true for those hurried meals we take during our lunch breaks at work. For legacy cafeteria providers, the consumer shift towards thoughtful, artisanal meals is becoming a serious problem. For legacy cafeteria The Global providers it was never Food Hall Trend about the food The idea behind the modern food hall is simple: Create a central place where people from all walks of life can come Countless companies have spent — and lost — a tremendous together to sample and taste their way through the best amount of money on their cafeterias.
