Not only do they serve as a hub for the community and provide a real connection between producer and consumer, but they also play an important role in the development of local and regional economy. They have multidimensional constituents and complementary uses (commercial, economic, social, cultural, administrative, civic and others). The Council recommends that a strategy be set out for the development of weekly outdoor markets (souks) in rural areas, in such a way as to capture the specificities of each rural community.
