HOW TO CREATE SUCCESSFUL MARKETS TRAINING COURSE - OCTOBER 28-29, NEW
YORK CITY

Please join Project for Public Spaces in this one and a half day
workshop led by our own public market experts Steve Davies and David
O'Neil. Cities and towns across the US are rediscovering the benefits of
public markets.

At this workshop you'll:
 * Learn how to start a market in your neighborhood or town;
 * Look at case studies and explore the market planning process,
including goal-setting, concept development, economic  feasibility,
management, site selection and design;
 * Visit and analyze some of New York's most famous markets;
 * Meet other folks from around the country working on a variety of
public market projects

Sign up now and join a small, dynamic group of people, who have included
mayors, planning officials, community development officials,
neighborhood organizers and market sponsors.

economic development initiative with the Ford Foundation.
