Reading Terminal Market is a popular food and retail destination in the heart of downtown Philadelphia adjacent to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a multi modal transit hub and a major shopping mall. The block between the Market and and the transit hub is a dark, uninviting, covered corridor that discourages foot traffic between the two sites. The Market will launch a participatory design process to prototype arts installations and programming along the 1100 block of Filbert Street. This will better connect patrons of the historic Market to the local transit hub and boost the economic vitality of the surrounding area.
