Despite a diminished role in feeding the city, public markets have persisted, and interest abounds in both existing markets and the development of new ones. In addition to creating an alternative to the mainstream commercial food system, public markets can generate a range of community benefits including small business opportunities, preservation and promotion of local foods and foodways, and a forum for public interaction. Despite these benefits, developing new, permanent, indoor markets is a unique challenge. This paper investigates development strategies for organizations seeking to create new public market halls in U.S cities. Literature specific to public market development is reviewed and contextualized within broader real estate planning frameworks. A detailed case study of the Boston Public Market Association and its efforts to develop a new public market hall in Boston illuminates the difficulties of successfully advancing a public market project. In particular, current opportunities facing that organization illustrate potentially successful strategies to develop a new public market. While developing a public market is not simply a real estate problem, the real estate world’s twin criterion of “most fitting and probable use” suggests an appropriate planning structure for public market proponents. By planning for a market that is “most fitting” in response to a range of local contexts, market advocates can make the improbable possible by adopting an opportunistic real estate strategy and attracting support and resources from both the public and private sectors. Given the long timeline market projects may face, sustained commitment and diligent activity are essential to successful market development.

From the rainbow colors of neatly marshaled piles of fruits and vegetables to the sparkle and briny smell of fresh fish and seafood on ice, from the aroma of roasting coffee and fresh breads to the carnal appeal of sausages, steaks, and whole carcasses waiting to be butchered: the sights and smells of the foods for sale are completely different from a typical supermarket experience of prepackaged portions wrapped in plastic and foam. Similarly, each item in one’s market basket requires a different transaction, a moment of exchange—not just monetary—with a specialized vendor who knows her wares, knows where they come from, and can advise how best to prepare and enjoy them. The market’s merchants and foodstuffs may hail from different cultures, providing a window into different food traditions and filling the air with the music of many languages. When the market’s products are locally sourced, shopping at the market not only provides a rich and enjoyable experience for city shoppers, but also a channel of connection with the farms, fields, and seas outside the city that provide this bounty of foodstuffs. While obviously idealized, this mélange of sights, sounds, smells, and activity describes the appeal of the public market. Around the world for centuries, the buying and selling of food has been transacted in public marketplaces open to all. In the broadest definition, a public market is any place where buyers and sellers of food meet regularly for trade. From simple gatherings of farmers at country crossroads to 19th century cathedrals of glass and iron, markets have existed under all kind of circumstances and in all kinds of facilities. Public markets were once a primary channel of food distribution in cities both in the United States and abroad. The range of public markets in the United States evolved from humble beginnings in colonial thoroughfares, to vast indoor market halls where dozens of different food vendors could ply their trade. As urbanization and industrialization swept through North America in the 19th and 20th centuries, the business of producing food and distributing it to consumers grew more and more specialized, and food production and trade were conducted on a national scale as larger and larger 5 businesses used railroads, highways, and refrigeration to broaden their reach. These trends eroded the sales and support of public markets, and by the 1950s, supermarkets had eclipsed the old public markets in both convenience and sales volume and many public markets either closed or fell into disrepair. Yet public markets never wholly disappeared from North American cities, and it seems that they are making a comeback. Architectural historian Helen Tangires began the research for her 2003 study of public markets in 19th century America under the assumption that these markets were “relics of the past.”1 However, as her research progressed, she changed her mind and concluded “The public market will continue to be vital in sustaining agriculture, biodiversity, and a healthy relationship between urban and rural populations, economies, and production.”2 Despite the changes in society and in cities that led to the decline of public markets, many cities around North America have maintained historic markets or developed new ones as important public spaces, as incubators of food entrepreneurship, and as showcases for locally grown or produced foods. These markets include historic facilities such as Seattle’s Pike Place, Cleveland’s West Side Market, and Philadelphia’s Reading Market, as well as newly developed market halls in Milwaukee, Little Rock, and Portland, Maine.

  • Barbara Kim Thesis Draft
    WHO PUT THE PUBLIC IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC MARKET? A thesis submitted by BARBARA KIM In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Urban Environmental Policy and Planning Tufts University August 2017 Advisor: Julian Agyeman Reader: Penn Loh Abstract Interest in locally grown food has grown across the country, which can be seen in the growth of farmers markets and building or revitalization of public markets. These spaces are complex with multiple public interests, a redefining public space, and the ideas around civic agriculture. This thesis, with the Boston Public Market as a case study, analyzes the market using content and discourse analysis to see how the market confront the inherent tensions of being a space with multiple public uses and interests. The building of the BPM was never a foregone conclusion and requires leadership, collaboration, and clarity in its purpose as a market selling 100% locally sourced and produces products. Collaboration between public, private and nonprofit sectors are necessary to build spaces like the BPM. But most importantly interventions are needed if these, spaces are going to be accessible to all income levels. Acknowledgements Thank you to Otto Gallotto, Kira Lafosse-Baker, Liz Morningstar, Dr. Miriam E. Nelson, Al Rose, Mackenzie Sehlke, Heidi Stucker, Greg Watson, and David Webber for sharing their knowledge and expertise about the Boston Public Market. I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedules for an interview.

As in most cities, Boston’s indoor public markets fell victim to ‘modernization’ and they all closed, with the exception of the revamped physical structures of Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall which were converted to ‘festival markets’ having little connection to Massachusetts’s producers, farms and fisheries. As the tradition of the public market makes a well-deserved reappearance into the everyday life of American cities, Boston – with its burgeoning popularity of outdoor farmers markets - is well positioned to be the next great market success story. Moreover, a new public market has the potential to strengthen Massachusetts’s agricultural economic base by providing farmers, fisheries and producers of value added products a new and significant outlet for their products. The proposed market also has the potential to save small family farms from going out of business, thus strengthening the communities from which these farms and businesses are based.
