Abstract
The aim of the paper is to investigate how material form and territorial complexity support and differentiate social interaction in urban consumption spaces. Spaces of consumption may well be the most socially mixed spaces in modern cities. Open-air markets provide excellent conditions to study these issues since they represent a broad, and often condensed, range of public situations in a consumption context. Case studies of urban spaces of consumption in London forms the empirical base for the study: two open-air markets were chosen, Borough Market and Portobello
Road Market, represent two wholly different sets of spatial, material and territorial circumstances.
The findings will be used to develop concepts on how material form support social interactions and territorial productions in public space.
