Why do some places become busy markets?

Walk down any street in any city, and you'll notice something strange. Some corners are packed with shops, food carts, and crowds. Other corners — just a block away — sit quiet and empty. What makes one spot buzz with life while another stays silent?
The answer starts with a simple idea: people flow like water. They follow the easiest path between the places they need to go. Home to work. Work to lunch. Train station to apartment. These paths create invisible rivers of people moving through a city every single day.
