Bazaars offering local agricultural products strengthen the city's resilience and equal opportunities for healthy and low-cost food for all social groups, strengthening micro-entrepreneurship and neighborly ties.

It was thought that it would act as a small architectural device that could revitalize this aging beach scenery rather than destroy the natural scenery.
