SUNDAY MARKET: a case study









Sunday market, along Sabarmati River is an example of one of the oldest street market in Ahmedabad. It’s a weekly bazaar which is managed by a Non government Organization called Ahmedabad Gujjari Association. It has around 1200 licensed vendors and 200 non-licensed, selling a range of articles from major, minor household stuff, clothes, food, to antiques, books, electronics etc. Together with a variety of vendors from small rowing ones to big pitched ones, one can also see a variety of consumers. A number of people wait for Sundays for this specific market. This system also gives hawkers the opportunity to prepare and collect the items over the week to sell on the weekend.
