Project for Public Spaces’s 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.
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 half for breakout discussions and facilitated work sessions. The core sessions will be organized around the Seven Principles of Market Cities.
Dedicated networking sessions - Between core sessions there will be facilitated networking opportunities to connect with fellow course participants and share your own work, challenges, and ideas.
Additional special topic session - One 1.5 hour session led by International Public Markets Consultant, David O’Neil, who will dive deeper into market financial sustainability.
Supplemental resources - Weekly relevant articles, guides, and videos will be made available to supplement your learning.
