Abstract This research delves into the potential applicability of 1970s~80s marketplace apartments as a contemporary catalyst for the revitalization of traditional markets, aligning with current municipal efforts to rejuvenate local economies. Through an analysis of 39 cases, we scrutinized the urban dynamics of ‘markets’ hosting marketplace apartments, investigating their geographical siting, scale, and store characteristics. Furthermore, an architectural examination of 14 selected cases illuminated the residential environment attribute of these marketplace ‘apartments.’ Our focus encompassed aspects such as size, layout, circulation, unit type configurations, and communal spaces within these unique structures. The findings of this study shed light on the potential rile of marketplace apartments as strategic tools for reinvigorating traditional markets within urban landscapes. By unraveling the intricate interplay between economic and architectural factors, we offer valuable insights into the prospects and avenues for refinement in utilizing marketplace apartments as effective strategies for traditional market revitalization.
