At which gate are you located?

The city of Karakorum was surrounded by a mud wall, which had four gates. Each gate was married to a certain type of market. At the western gate sheep and goats were sold; at the eastern, millet and other types of grain; at the northern, horses; and at the southern oxen and carts (Rockhill. W. W., The Journeys of William of Rubruck to the eastern parts of the World 1253-1255, New Delhi 1998, p221) The centralisation of the sale of certain products and crafts is not unique to any one culture or generation. A quick look at London would evidence this; Hatton Garden diamonds, Bond Street boutiques, Saville Row suits and Tottenham Court Road electronics to name but an appropriate few. It seems the 13 century cosmopolitan city of Karakorum and the 21 century city of London share many features, none more so clearer than the self-imposition of economies of scale.
