This November, the Public Market Collaborative at Project for Public Spaces and the Ford Foundation are joining forces with local and national partners for the "Great Markets, Great Cities" conference in New York City. More than three hundred participants are expected for the three-day event, which will bring together noted planners and designers, accomplished market managers, and visionary leaders in a unique opportunity to focus on the vital role of markets in revitalizing towns and cities worldwide.
The event will take place in and around the city's famous markets, public spaces and neighborhoods, enabling participants to see first-hand the famous Greenmarkets, the historic Gansevoort Market District, Fulton Fish Market, Chelsea Market and more. First-class speakers from New York and around the country will be on hand to deliver lectures, workshops, and breakout sessions, sharing wisdom gained from their years dedicated to the cause.
Based on PPS's 25 years of experience in place-making, and inspired by our popular book, "How to Turn a Place Around," this course shows participants our unique approach to revitalization. Working in partnership with the Prince's Foundation, PPS will train participants how to observe and analyze places in London's East End, encouraging them to see the sites from a user's point of view.
The course will take place in the heart of Shoreditch, one of London's most legendary 'people places,' famous for its Brick Lane curry houses, chaotic Spitalfields market, and vibrant street life. The area vividly demonstrates the best and worst of urban living and offers excellent sites whose revitalization could be a catalyst for neighborhood regeneration.
Online registration will be available soon, so keep your eyes on pps.org for updates.
Following the success of Urban Parks Online, PPS is constructing an online resource center for public buildings. Thanks to a grant from the General Service Administration (GSA), which manages all federal buildings in the U.S., public building managers will soon have access to cutting-edge research and information on public space security, programming, amenities, and management. In addition to federal building managers, the website is intended for all kinds of civic buildings and public buildings, from libraries to courthouses. A newsletter and listserve are forthcoming.
When the website is completed, building managers will have a powerful new tool to help them create thriving community places in and around their buildings. By adding to PPS's already substantial research and promoting resource sharing among building managers themselves, the new website will enable managers to act as catalysts for revitalization in their downtown areas and neighborhoods.
To receive an email update when the Public Buildings listserve and newsletter become available, send an email to bfried@pps.org, with the subject "Public Buildings," and include your name and email address.
