Rappelons seulement qu'à la différence d'autres équipements à caractère social ainsi qualifiés (écoles, hôpitaux, stades, bibliothèques, etc.), qui peuvent dépendre de tutelles étatiques ou régionales, les marchés sont généralement sous tutelle locale, municipale, tout en étant souvent liés aux équipements d'infrastructure (voiries et réseaux divers), eux-mêmes sous tutelles différenciées, selon les périodes et les villes, ce qui n'en facilite pas toujours une définition claire en termes de gestion urbaine [...] 4, record 6, French, - %C3%A9quipement%20de%20superstructure
