"Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit planning, design and educational organization settled in NY, dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities.
Our pioneering Placemaking approach helps citizens transform their public spaces into vital places that highlight local assets, spur rejuvenation and serve common needs.
The aim of PPS’ Public Market Program is to foster the role of public markets in reconnecting local economies and communities and to support the pivotal role markets play in supporting public health and local food systems.
PPS provides assistance to market sponsors, managers, and community development officials helping public markets become economically sustainable centers of community life. Through training programs, conferences, research and projects, the Public Markets Program promotes new models and innovative practices for public markets that achieve broad benefits for communities.
