ABSTRACT
When it comes to disaster and conflict, affected populations and humanitarian agencies must navigate new and growing urban environments. From the Haiti earthquake, which devastated the capital of Port-au-Prince, to the Zaatari camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan 1 (Ledwith, 2014), crises since 2010 have affected, expanded and created dense populations centers. One of the major characteristics of these increasingly urban crises is the presence and diversity of markets, both old and new. A market is any formal or informal framework in which buyers and sellers exchange goods, labor or services for cash or other goods, and includes the institutions, infrastructure and rules that govern or enable these interactions.
