This is the sign of revival of traditional markets in America. In Europe, markets have been the way of life for everyone. In developing nations, many existing markets face the danger of being closed by authority or replaced by modern development; or simply cannot compete with large supermarket or shopping mall. Those which still survive relying on majority of poorer residents but stayed away by the middle class who prefer much comfortable, less chaotic and cleaner shopping malls.
The attitude has changed not only in America but also showing signs in country like Australia. "These markets – i.e., Pike Place in Seattle, Reading Terminal in Philadelphia, and North Market in Columbus – show the tremendous opportunity for public markets in today's world of shopping malls and retail chains. These markets also show that with careful planning and investment, along with effective management, public markets can again become centers of sustainable local economies and community life."
