Hi all,
I had posted earlier about the proposed Crawford Market redevelopment issue. I asked around on other lists (H-Asia and H-Urban) and received the following, very helpful, responses. I know there are people on the list working on food retail and wholesale spaces. I am sure some of the references will be of use to us in India. I am also trying to put together some pdf's of articles on historic market rejuvenation in contexts beyond South Asia, so if you let me know, I can send them to you or post them on Yousendit.

I am currently writing a dissertation on the transfer of Les Halles
wholesale food market in Paris to the suburb of Rungis; my work
examines the various dimensions of the market's
"modernization".
There is a lot of historical research on European markets, I would be
happy to share my bibliography if your contact wants to get in touch
with me.
If Europe is of interest, I might self-promotionally point you to a
special issue of the journal French Politics Culture and Society that
discusses the history of Les Halles as well as the vicissitudes of
participatory planning of its redevelopment (both the food market and
the shopping mall that replaced it): <http://
berghahn.publisher.ingentaconnect.com/content/berghahn/fp
cs/
2007/00000025/00000002>
For a US-based reference, Helen Tangries' book _Public Markets and
Civic Culture in Nineteenth-Century America_ (Baltimore, Md.: Johns
Hopkins University Press, 2003) is excellent, and contains detailed
discussions of political debates around market modernization. I
believe she is currently working on a project on 20th century markets
in the US.
For more policy-related scholarship, the work of Jean-Jacques
Cadilhon is very helpful, as he has done considerable work in
Southeast Asia and France.
In the US, the group Project for Public Spaces has a Public Markets
program with a great deal of research on making markets work and how
to plan them. http://www.pps.org/markets/
Another project which might be interesting to examine is one by
artist-architect Azra Aksamija http://www.mit.edu/~azra/Arizona.htm
who studies the organization of the Arizona Market in Bosnia.
I would be happy to hear from your contacts about how their efforts
go - and from other scholars working on this issue.

India's developments-a reprise of the West?
************************************************************************
From: Sudarsan Padmanabhan <padmanab at gmail.com>
With reference to Curt Gambetta's post on the proposed Crawford Market
"re-development" in Mumbai:
I have only read about robber baron capitalism during the 19th century and
early 20th century United States. India is fast catching up. Nandigram and
scores of other places in India attest to that experience. Today, I read in
The Hindu that Madurai High Court has ruled against agitating farmers whose
lands have been ear-marked for "developmental" activity such as
constructing
malls or some industrial or software park. Dharavi slum in Bombay is also
being considered as potential avenue for development. Coimbatore, Chennai,
Bangalore, Mysore, Trichy and Madurai are some places that have been gobbled
up by robber barons (politicians, their kith and kin, landsharks, MNCs, real
estate moghuls.) Today, a colleague of mine in economics was expressing his
frustration that one day India will have only buildings and no agricultural
land at all, as a result, food would have to be imported. Already, the city
of Madras/Chennai which had scores of lakes two decades ago has only
buildings. Most of the trees have been chopped off too. As a result,
pollution, water scarcity, traffic congestion, accidents, crime, drainage
and sewage are some pressing problems. Public places like parks, playgrounds
and other facilites have been encroached upon by both the public and the
private sector. People blissfully watch Indian soap operas.

Mumbai's Crawford Market redevelopment plans, issues of heritage and
modernity?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ed. note: I had heard about this plan to "develop" that is, destroy,
the
historic Crawford Market--a classic roofed, open air market that was built
in the boom years of Bombay's 19th century development, and named for
Arthur Travis Crawford, one of the more colorful and controversial figures
of the city's history. The example that comes to my mind of a similar
type of event was the plan in the mid-1960s to tear down Seattle's now
iconic Pike Place Market and build a parking structure. I am not very up
to speed on local bibliographies, but as the market is now celebrating its
centenary, I recall that the _Seattle Times_ ran a whole series on the
market's history and of the campaign to save it.
Some titles that might be of interest include:

creating a vital and energized workplace from the world famous Pike Place
Fish Market. New York: Hyperion.

schemes, Pike Place Market endured to become Seattle's leading tourist
attraction. Now tourism threatens to erode its authentic character".

Sites and Buildings. 48 (1): 50.

market. Seattle: The Authority.

Pike Place Market. Thesis (M. Urban Plan.)--University of Washington.

Lee, Sohyun Park. 2001. From redevelopment to preservation downtown
planning in post-war Seattle. Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington,

Park Lee, Sohyun. 2002. "Conflicting elites and changing values: designing
two historic districts in downtown Seattle, 1958-73". Journal of Planning
Literature. 16 (3): 397-477.
Victor Steinbruek was a Professor in the College of Architecture and Urban
Planning at the University of Washington and pioneered the campaign to
save the market. Whether or not American examples are of much relevance
to the Mumbai case, I must leave to others. One Asian example that comes
to mind is the preservation of the old structures along the river in
Singapore--though admittedly altering them from their original uses.
