Abstract : Markets have always been vital to urban landscapes, acting as centers for various commercial, social, and cultural interactions. Over the years, their role and structure have evolved, yet the markets remain traditional in nature. This paper examines how this market can be transformed into a dynamic public space using placemaking principles and strategies. By redesigning and reimagining the market, it aims to create a space that not only meets modern needs but also fosters community engagement and cultural exchange. This transformation addresses today's urban challenges, offering a model for how markets can evolve to better serve society while preserving their historical significance. Through this process, the market can be revitalized as a key public space, enhancing its role in daily life and promoting sustainable urban development.

Keywords : Marketplace, Placemaking, Socio-Economic Impact, Public Realm.
