Trade is a sine qua non to sustainable human life, together with money, script and law. Throughout History, trading zones have shaped the development of urban lanscapes. Anatolia was the craddle of trade and for thousands of years it was the scene of the development of commerce, industry and innovation. The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is a formidable center of trade dating back 500 years, and probably the most complex and complete structure inherited from the Ottoman Empire.
