Architects & Urbanists
The retail environment has evolved rapidly in the past few decades,
with the retailing industry and its placement and design of
‘brick-and-mortar’ locations changing with evolving demographics,
shopping behavior, transportation options and a desire in recent
years for more unique shopping environments.
Written by a leading expert, this is a guide to planning for
retail development for urban planners, urban designers and
architects. It includes an overview of history of retail design, a
look at retail and merchandising trends, and principles for current
retail developments.
Principles of Urban Retail Planning and Development
will:
* Provide insight and techniques necessary for historic downtowns
and new urban communities to compete with modern suburban shopping
centers.
* Promote sustainable community building and development by
making it more profitable for the shopping center industry to
invest in historic cities or to develop walkable urban
communities.
* Includes case studies of recent good examples of retail
development
