Article Synopsis
- The article examines how traditional retail spaces in sub-Saharan Africa interact with urban planning policies, focusing on their spatial, economic, and cultural contexts.
- It analyzes 22 traditional markets in Kumasi through the lenses of transportation, influence, centrality, and spatial patterns, revealing that these markets are strategically located along important road networks for local access to goods.
- Key findings include that while some markets defy Christaller's hypothesis by maintaining significant influence without offering higher-order goods, they still play crucial roles in connecting rural and urban food networks and are shaped by modern urban planning and placemaking strategies.
