Adapting Urban Marketplaces: Performance Indicators for Sustainable Public Space Development
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A city is a collection of activities that must cater to the requirements of its citizens and exist because of them. A city's ability to support public life and make user interactions with public spaces valuable is what makes it what it is. Residents frequently use local areas such as streets, marketplaces, etc. More attention should be paid to the details of public areas than to the architecture of famous buildings if the city is to become a better place to live. Over time, urban areas’-built environments have seen continuous expansion and development, but their inability to adjust and maintain themselves in the face of these changes is causing degradation of the cities. An ideal public area should be sustainable and flexible enough to accommodate shifting social, cultural, economic, and environmental trends. The built environment is made up of a number of characteristics that serve as performance indicators when examining a particular region. In order to investigate and assess a typical Indian market place in Ranchi, the state capital of Jharkhand, this research identifies these indicators using the literature studies that have been completed. The study's main goal is to investigate how urban public spaces might be made more environmentally, economically, and socio culturally sustainable. Keywords: Urban spaces, public spaces, environment, economic, culture
