Interlude: Public Markets as Neighborhood Anchors

One striking aspect of Barcelona's neighborhood stabilization strategy is the focus on food as a foundation of community. Ranging from La Bocheria, Barelona's Cathedral of Food, to more than 30 permanent food markets in the city's network, markets are daily destinations for locals, chefs, and tourists, especially for hungry, foraging PSU students. You can even take nutrition classes and put in a delivery order via the internet.
