One-day conference learning from the historic East End Street Markets: the threats, the challenges and on what community value means today
This conference follows on from June 2019’s ‘The Future of London’s Street Markets’ held in Brixton. We will hear from East London’s longest standing market campaign, the Friends of Queen’s Market (Newham) to identify future threats and key issues facing markets in ‘ethnic majority’ areas of London.
The Just Space Network’s Community-led Recovery Plan and the University of Leeds research findings on the community value of street markets (2022) will set the grounds for afternoon workshops, with input from East End campaigners facing pressures from the financial city and hardline gentrification.
Afternoon group workshops will examine the current position of street markets in understanding the historic East End, its diverse communities and evolving landscape, as places that foster community cohesion to address isolation, provide affordable food for healing, wellbeing and examine the threats to market livelihoods today.
BOOKING: Free to attend. Booking essential. Limited places. Book your place through this Eventbrite link: https://streetmarkets.eventbrite.co.uk
