N°2 | 2018 Shopping centre or destination?

Shopping centres conceived and managed for retail exclusively don’t meet the needs of new consumers that more and more often choose to shop online instead of going to stores. Do big shopping centres still have a purpose? Are they profitable? These are the most recurring and urgent questions that our authors have tried to answer; they all are highly-qualified professionals – city planners, landscape and lighting designers – who have designed malls worldwide.
New perspectives are highlighted, both by designing comfortable public open-air spaces and by creating re-imagined and sustainable urban townships where living, working, shopping and eating all seamlessly integrate together.
