Abstract
By way of conclusions, this chapter reassembles the marketplace. It argues that it is essential for geographers to revisit place and place-making, which has often been overlooked in recent geographical literatures—particularly in those associated with urban markets. Focusing particularly on notions vibrancy, conviviality and buzz, it argues that with wider social, cultural and political shifts within the urban landscape, it is critical to understand the roles that particular places like marketplaces play in generating these ephemera—especially as they occupy prominent positions within academic, lay and policy-debate. Drawing conclusions, the chapter also summarizes the central contributions of the book, explores the potential for topo/graphy as a mode of place-based analysis for marketplaces and beyond, and highlights potential avenues further work.
