Dear David

The Barcelona and Boston cases are among the ones I insist on in my teaching, with a reflection both  on how the models were constructed as such and on the way in which they were later criticized.

See, for example:

 Francisco-Javier Monclús, The Barcelona model: and an original formula? From ‘reconstruction’ to strategic urban projects (1979–2004), Planning Perspectives

Volume 18, Issue 4, 2003, 399-421

 Dear Denis,

These references look very inspiring. Merci beacoup!

Dear David,

you might take a look to the regeneration project of Porta Palazzo (Turin, Italy), named "The Gate". 

http://www.comune.torino.it/portapalazzo/eng/bancadati/

Several studies, articles and papers have been published on this project, see for example:

Grazie Elisabetta, very interesting!

Dear David,

It may be a bit old, but from a critical perspective I recommend you to read abour retail gentrification. I don't have any in mind, but Zukin hat some papers about this issue.

Zukin, S., Trujillo, V., Frase, P., Jackson, D., Recuber, T. and Walker, A. (2009), New Retail Capital and Neighborhood Change: Boutiques and Gentrification in New York City. City & Community, 8: 47–64. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-6040.2009.01269.x

Good luck and regards,

Alejandro

Thanks a lot, Alejandro, this is a useful reference

you are welcome!

Thank you Sajjad for those valuable references, they look very interesting in the light of my research. 

Khodafez!

Dear David,

Barcelona is a great example of it:

Santa Caterina by Miralles

Mercat del Ninot by MAP...

Mercat del Borne was turned into a cultural centre ...

Regards,

Dear David,

you can find a really interesting comparative study between Bristol (UK) and Naples (IT) here:

Dear Laura and Nico, thank you very much for your valuable suggestions!

Hello David,

I worked with Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lisboa, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, because I wanted to compare with ongoing process in Salvador. But it's in portuguese.

i think, Old City (Baku) is a good case for this topic

Dear David, 

In Seville (Spain) , it is very interesting this tematic, because food markets generates a lot of life in the historic city center. In that sense, there are several markets that work for decades such as the "Mercado de Triana". Inspired by this type has recently built the "Mercado de la Encarnación" with his polemic in economic terms and gentrification but not less interesting in terms of urban regeneration and urban healthy eating.

Dear Maria,

thank you for letting me know this valuable case study.

Best wishes, David

Dear David,

I have a couple of references on the Valencia inner city:

In case you need the full text, I can send them to you.

Kind regards

Thanks Roberto, it looks a really interesting case study!

Columbia Market has an interesting history.  By 1840, the street market had degenerated into a slum but, influenced by Dickens, the philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts built a magnificent covered marketplace which was, unfortunately, hit by a 50kg bomb during the Blitz in 1940 and demolished in 1958.  Whilst the current street market is thriving, local traders and street life could be threatened by mega-urban development.

Thank you so much Simon, this is an interesting perspective

Dear David,

I would like to share with you the work realized through an Urbact Action "markets", aimed at understanding and exploring the role of urban markets as key drivers of change in terms of local economic development, regeneration and sustainable living.

You can find the results on the Urbact page 

I hope it will be of interest.
