Abstract

The thesis conducts spatial explorations through design and discusses the possibilities of using the street market as infrastructure to facilitate collective making and create conditions for inclusive urbanization through achieving supply justice. The street market is a spatial vehicle that can deliver the thesis goal. Supply justice as a development strategy can incubate and mobilize the collective networks carried by the street market to practice inclusive urbanization. The collective making and street market as two symbiotic urban networks are potent instruments in promoting supply justice. Together, they can trigger collective actions in the urbanization process and effectively address the challenge from the dominating supply companies. The thesis categorized four themes to explore the street market’s capacity and transferability as infrastructure for inclusive urbanization.
