...Research Paper Shopping Malls have been around for centuries their ancestor were enclosed such as the agora of ancient Greece or the Palais Royal of prerevolutionary Paris, and covered like the Jerusalem bazaar and the famous Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. There are much closer ancestors but as famous as the old ones, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan built in 1867 is well known as it is a covered prolongation of the street with its shops, café and restaurants on two levels. The mall that we know nowadays was introduced by Victor Gruen, who designed the first famous modern mall, the indoor version of the traditional marketplace; it was an enclosed climate-controlled indoor mall in Minnesota in 1956. Since then malls have been around us and are now part of our culture. This paper will argue that malls play significant roles in suburban life. Some people believe that malls are destructive towards our life style. In some ways this is true. Malls do standardize the way of shopping by bringing all the wants and need of our society together but people forget that malls implements their own positive lifestyle. I will highlight three main arguments to demonstrate that malls represent well our culture and play a significant role in the suburban life. First by their design as there are nowadays not only places to shop but are artistic structures, secondly by the way they serve socials functions and finally that they provide a safe environment. Shopping malls are originally designed...

...Malls and Hypermarkets: Perspectives of Contemporary Shopping CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 18 School of Management Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala Malls and Hypermarkets: Perspectives of Contemporary Shopping 1.1 INTRODUCTION The last decade has witnessed dynamism in Indian retail sector. Various urban areas have been at the center of attraction with emergence of different kinds of organized retail formats gaining momentum. It is largely due to rising income, increasing purchasing power, credit facilities, changing pattern of consumer behaviour and increased consumer awareness. Retailing has emerged as one of the most important sectors of Indian economy beyond the 90s. A large number of retail model retail formats have come in force offering a wide spectrum of merchandise and services. The professional orientation and incorporation of various technology–enabled softwares has offered these retailers better customer relationship management, merchandise offering, store atmosphere and inventory management. There’s a flurry of activity as a revolution sweeps through small town India, with intimidating Malls, Hip stores, looming Hypermarkets & hangouts mushrooming all over the place, apart from a perceptible lifestyle change, breathing fire into these cities (Agarwal, 2006).

...local station to London with a reasonable journey of only 40 minutes. This is good news for the store as the proximity to London can mean an increased footfall, as more customers are in the capital of England. The store is positioned within the M25 where the current population inside the M25 is estimated to be around 7,800 people in 2011 (GLA Intelligence Update, 2009 Round Demographic Projections for the London Plan (Revised)). This means that there are a lot of people living locally and they are currently going to the competition to shop. Being located on a high street is an advantage for the store because of the regular footfall as well as the great amount of parking options for customers. The only disadvantage here is that the nearby shopping centre may be taking some customers away from the high street, especially in the UK where our weather may be cold and wet, customers may wish to stay inside the centre if they can purchase everything they require from the competition. The store has a semi-unique position as a store at a mid-price range, in a town where the other stores are mainly in the lower price bracket. There are no top end retailers in the town other than a few concessions within department stores. This could be seen as a positive because there is less competition within this particular price bracket, although this may be because the customers in this area are unable...

...building a retail park. One of the disadvantages is that it is hard to find a big enough space for it to be built in, also it takes a lot of money to build a retail park as you have to have a big enough car park to get a profit. If there wasn’t a big enough car park then people would shop in the retail park as they you have to talk with their shopping and people would get fed up. When thinking about building a retail park you need to think about the future for the business. You need to take into consideration a lot of things, for example, if there is enough land, if you are going to make a decent profit when it’s all finished, and is it going to be a good process. Superstore Tesco’s extra is an example of a super store. Superstore is a retail environment, a superstore is a large retailer who stocks and sells a wide variety of merchandise including groceries, clothing and general supplies, or a large store that sells a massive quantity of goods in one product line such as electronics or shoes.

...'million sq.ft. malls' where every second developer wants to make one of the biggest malls in India? Do you support this trend? I support this unprecedented wave of million sq ft mall as with multiple demands on limited time, shoppers carefully choreograph their shopping trips. Mn sq ft size and prominence means that, for good or ill, these malls have a significant impact on a place and its character There is growing acceptance that as long as Big malls are well designed ,made, leased , and suitably located, they can accelerate retail growth in our country In broader perspective Million sq ft malls are signs of growing economic development and prosperity and the desire of the investor and builders to invest in these mega projects -- which means more choice for retailers , shoppers and increasing employment opportunities for catchment population. A large Mall is an indicator that a Industry is moving toward the future. Large malls require plenty of investment, more time and labor to construct , lease and operate but they also have long- and short term advantage . How sustainable will this trend be considering the economic condition of the country? Sustaining a successful retail development in India requires a high level of expertise, proactive management, and innovation. In the near term, the robust consumer demand will mask the lack of experience of these new developers. Over the longer term, however, it will be important for even developer of smaller malls to step...

Contemporary Influences on Interior Design VA0521 The critical theme I intend to investigate in is regeneration, regeneration is a action of renewal of something which is in a poor condition and transforming it with the outcome of improvement. As I am currently working on a project which involves the old Monument Mall, Blackett Street, Newcastle which has now been transformed in to beautifully designed retail stores and restaurants. One of the main purpose’s behind regeneration is usually to do with the deterioration in the architecture, many buildings which are hundreds of years old need revamping eventually. Regeneration can be seen as a benefit in ways, instead of completely demolishing deteriorated buildings as it is encouraging sustainability by making the most of its resources this assisting the environment.

...2007 Mall Management – A Growing Phenomenon in Indian Retail Industry ExEcutivE Summary • The Indian retail market is expected to continue its growth trajectory into 2010. • Mall management has been identified as a critical factor for the success of malls and the retail industry across the world. • Mall management broadly includes mall positioning, zoning, tenant mix, promotions/ marketing and facility/finance management. • Currently, the Indian retail market lacks designated mall management firms. Large real estate developers and retail chains either have their own mall management arms operating as subsidiaries or have contractual agreements with international property consultants. • Till recently, mall management was limited to facility management by a majority of developers in India, leading to gaps in mall management practices. • Given the high future supply of malls and increasing competitiveness within the Indian retail market, developers must correctly address these gaps to ensure success. Mall Management – A Growing Phenomenon in Indian Retail Industry introduction Organised retailing in India witnessed a gross turnover of USD 320 billion1 in 2006. Although this figure is low compared with other developed economies, industry experts expect the growth rate of this sector at 35%2 until 2010.
