The ongoing transformation of agricultural trade markets, set against the backdrop of urban renewal, underscores the imperative need for a design approach that harmonizes cultural integration with the evolving needs of urban citizens. This research delves into the dynamic interplay between traditional market functions and contemporary urban demands, identifying a significant gap in understanding and implementing cultural elements within market design. The question drives our inquiry: How can integrating cultural aspects into the design and operation of farmers’ markets enhance urban renewal efforts while catering to the community’s diverse needs?

Our design concept, informed by these formative insights, proposes innovative strategies for market revitalization. These strategies prioritize cultural preservation, spatial optimization, and the integration of modern functionalities within traditional markets to “weaving "space. By adopting a bottom-up demand-oriented design philosophy, this research aims to create farmers market that serve as commercial hubs, vibrant cultural landmarks, and community gathering spaces.

The heart of our redevelopment strategy for Ziyang Street lies in the articulation of a design con- cept that champions urban renewal through a layered, compound approach to spatial organization. This is a bottom-up urban renewal design scheme led by residents. Our approach advocates for the transformation of traditional markets into bustling hubs of urban life, where the historical and the contemporary merge to form inclusive, compound farmers market and urban space.
