Town Centre Economies and Planners’ Attitudes

In: The Future of Shopping

Abstract

Shopping centres, in particular, are quite different to other forms of property, and their development and management needs specialist knowledge and experience. In the past, the failure of both developers and architects to apply such specialist expertise, together with many retailers looking only to their own individual shop interests to the exclusion of the effects on the greater entity, has meant that many shopping centres in the United Kingdom and Europe in the past were less efficient and attractive than the best centres in America. During the past decade or so, European centres have become so attractive that we now see Americans looking to this side of the ocean to gain new ideas. The effects of cross-border retailing, with many American retailers such as The Gap, Tower Records, McDonald’s, Crabtree & Evelyn, and others having increasing representation, has helped this harmonisation.
