"Destination markets like Pike Place attract local residents and tourists alike because of how interesting and vibrant they are; with tons of things to see, do and buy at every turn and something to offer everyone who visits. It follows that building networks of such markets across cities and regions both maintains local market cultures, strengthens communities, and preserves a way of life that people love to be part of." Our decades of collaboration with Pike Place Market PDA has led to many lessons learned for #publicmarkets around the world and helped us launch the markets movement around the world while we were at Project for Public Spaces. PPS now continues to sustain and grow the #MarketCities movement through their #MarketCitiesNetwork.
