Novo mercado do T3: uma nova abordagem na dinâmica e atractividade do mercado

Abstract

Markets play a fundamental role in society, serving as vital centers for the local economy and community livelihoods. In contexts where resources are scarce and economic opportunities arelimited, markets emerge as converging points where commercial activity thrives and economic and social exchanges take place. In Mozambique, markets play a crucial role in the structure of household income as they represent primary locations where agricultural products are sold and distributed. According to the Methodological Guide for Markets and Fairs (2020), agriculture is often the main source of livelihood for many families, making markets essential for ensuring food security and access to basic goods. However, despite their economic and social relevance, markets face a range of challenges that undermine commercial activity. Given the aforementioned situation, this study addresses the characteristic problem in municipal markets, which is abandonment. The aim is to make the area even more attractive, promote the flow of people, enhance local commerce, and diversify the mix of products offered, with the intervention area being the Municipal Market of T3 in Infulene. The process to achieve this result involves analyzing concepts related to the market in terms of its commercial dynamics, history, physical and conceptual structure, thus consolidating knowledge on the subject
