This thesis will explore a methodology for the establishment of self-contained neighborhood developments through the creation of commercial centers that capitalize on the retail principles of comprehensive ownership and centralized management. More specifically this thesis will examine ways of creating self-sustaining neighborhood developments by building on the market place as a vehicle for social and economic revitalization. A case study for a new market hall in LaGrange Georgia will demonstrate how the traditional market hall typology can serve as a model for contemporary markets.

A second goal is to demonstrate how the design of the market hall can serve to enhance the overall community. Providing a thriving commercial center that supports and encourages other local businesses and provides an atmosphere that encourages pedestrian activity.
