  • 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. This thesis would not have been possible without the support of my thesis advisor Dr. Julian Agyeman and thesis reader Penn Loh.

  • Annual Report – 2015
    BOSTON PUBLIC MARKET ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BUILDING A COMMUNITY GROWING BUILDING NOURISHING SMALL OUR PEOPLE BUSINESS COMMUNITY Dear Friends of the Market, The grand opening of the Boston Public Market in July, 2015 was a decade in the making—the capstone of vision, determination and hard work by so many in our community. The Market is a dynamic civic space providing residents and visitors an abundance of local fresh food, and a rich variety of unique experiences. In the heart of the emerging market district, the Market has quickly become a new hub for the City of Boston. In this, our first annual report, we are pleased to share with you our journey to open and the impact of the Market. We have welcomed over 800,000 people to the Market since Governor Baker and Mayor Walsh cut the ribbon at our grand opening, and that number continues to grow. We can all be proud that the people of New England now have a year-round source of fresh local food, a public market where everything sold is produced or originates in New England. The Market is more than a place to shop for wonderful quality food. It is a place to meet almost forty inventive entrepreneurs—farmers, fishers, and specialty food producers from Massachusetts and greater New England. From these small business owners, you can hear the stories behind all of the products they sell. You will be inspired by their dedication and the drive it has taken for them to join the vendor community at the Boston Public Market.
