Increase in demand for spaces at the market The guide has further expressed the importance of having a well thought-out market design supported by proper infrastructure. This will in turn influence how the market centre will operate and determine how it will be managed. Users of the guide are advised to assess their own environment carefully and check for relevance to your own market before adopting any recommendation in this guide.
