The course takes place over three weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 24 to October 10, 2024:
Project for Public Spaces’ long-standing "How to Create Successful Markets” training features new content from our Market Cities Program along with enduring lessons and examples for developing and sustaining an extraordinary public market.
Over the course of three weeks, market operators, developers, policymakers, and advocates will learn the essentials for creating a thriving public market that is economically sustainable, maximizes community benefits, and contributes to the creation of inclusive public places. In this revamped version of the training, participants will also explore the Seven Principles of Market Cities centered on the value of systems thinking to strengthen the shared efforts of public markets, as well as how markets are continuing to adapt to new challenges and disruptions.
Participants will learn what it takes to create extraordinary markets and market systems through presentations, facilitated discussions, and video tours of open-air and indoor public markets around the world.
The training addresses key topics in the creation and management of public markets, including:
Three core training sessions: These core sessions will be hosted for two hours, with about half of the time dedicated to presentations and guest speakers and the other portion for breakout discussions. The core sessions will be organized around the Seven Principles of Market Cities.
Dedicated networking sessions: Between core sessions there will be a facilitated networking opportunity to connect with fellow course participants and share your own work, challenges, and ideas.
Special topic sessions: There will be 2 sessions led by guest speakers that will dive deeper into a specific public markets related topic.
Supplemental resources: Weekly relevant articles, guides, and videos will be made available to supplement your learning.
The training is facilitated by Project for Public Spaces' Market Cities team:
