Market Feedback Hub

The “Market Feedback Hub” is a potential way for people to provide suggestions and their ideas on how to improve the markets. This idea is solely based on the findings we have encountered during our research on the Kirkgate market. And we felt the need to empower the authority of people and the vendors in renovation and advancements in the market as we believe the market is a place for consumers and sellers. However, we find the usual feedback forms are not enough to include the creativity of people. Thus, with the help of digital media, we are providing a design layout for a potential app.
