Abstract

Public spaces play a variety of roles in cities in everyday life and contribute to people’s health, happiness and well-being. People make places and they live on memories, emotions and values by interacting with a particular place and locality. Successful public spaces require diversity, activities, and to be closely linked to the physical setting (milieu) to enable and boost different types of activities and functions. This study attempts to explore the socio-spatial dynamics in everyday public spaces with a primary focus on understanding the evolution and pattern of development of market spaces. This paper looks at the case of the Krishna Rajendra (KR) market in Bengaluru, which is one of the oldest markets located in the city’s centre. The market, due to the expansion of the city, has grown into an unorganised and chaotic space. This research aims to understand the unorganised development of the KR market space and its impact on the people and existing urban fabric through a series of surveys and documentation. It also proposes policies to provide a new paradigm for shopping.
