For centuries, markets have been at the center of human interaction in villages, towns, settlements, and eventually, cities. Often, if you trace the origin of the central business district of one of today's mega-metropolises, you'll find it was once the place where residents bought fruits and vegetables and traded livestock for cooking oil. In cities all over the world today, markets are still a huge part of city life, just on a grander scale. Whether it's a place to make a living, meet friends, sell fish, trade stories, or eat dinner, these street markets breathe life into the cities they're in.
