About this product

Product Information

An up-to-date version of an earlier work ( Shopping Malls: Planning and Design ) from 1985, this version covers the variety of new types and sub-types of shopping malls which have emerged in these five years in response to rapid continual evolution in market opportunities, competition, popular taste and consumer technology. It is intended to help client and designer to clarify the precise needs of their own particular project. The key factors discussed include catchment area, location, tenant mix, retailing style and the physical form of the building. There is a specific examination of such physical types as the out-of-town regional centre, the urban regional centre, the urban speciality centre and the theme centre. There is an examination of the important subsidiary elements within a retail mall such as entrances and vertical movement and an examination of the impact of the shopping mall on its surroundings. A set of over 40 case examples of retail malls completed during the 1980s is included with 23 from the USA, 14 from Britain and the rest from Canada, Australia and Western Europe. The vital statistics, a drawn-to-scale layout and one or more photographs, plus a written desciption and evaluation is given for each scheme. There is a summary of the lessons to emerge from the above and an appendix summarizing key data on 150 post-war retail malls world-wide. The text is intended for the use of architects, planners, retail designers, shopping mall owners and managers.
