Why Markets Matter
Markets and food halls act as community anchors, bringing people together while supporting independent businesses and keeping local character alive. Done well, they increase footfall, create jobs and give communities a reason to gather.
They also play a vital role in sustainability by reusing buildings, reducing vacancy and encouraging shorter supply chains. For developers and asset managers, markets bring energy and life that strengthen entire destinations.
This is why markets and food halls remain at the heart of regeneration strategies across the UK and Europe.
