Markets Build Relationships

Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining public places that build communities.

www.pps.org

I ran across a brief article on PPS in the Oct/Nov 2005 issue of Dwell magazine. This organization was started 30 years ago to help reclaim and rejuvenate shared spaces.

One of its most successful programs facilitates the creation of public markets all over the world.

President of PPS, Fred Kent was quoted in Dwell saying, "What people really want, more than anything, is a place to connect and create chance encounters with others."
