Barry Benepe

Barry Benepe appears in A firm Andy: what are new British PM’s plans? as one of the urban planners who created the original Greenmarket idea. The episode presents him alongside Bob Lewis as designing a market that would connect city residents directly with regional farmers.

In the wiki, Benepe anchors the planning side of Farmers Market Urbanism. The idea was not only to sell produce, but to build a repeatable public-space and food-access institution in [[NewYorkCity|New York City]].
