FUTURE

několik informací / predikcí ohledně vývoje shopping center ve světě:


_Rem Koolhaas:
“Shopping is perhaps the last remaining form of public activity.”

_“Shopping and leisure were always mixed together in the town center, in the agora. They were always in the same general area.” /Steiner/

_Paco Underhill /autor Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping/:

“The future is local, not global.It will be much more integrated with hotels and housing.”
_Steiner says future shoppers will demand better overall design. “People want shopping environments to give them a sense of place,” he says. “Their demand for good-feeling spaces is increasing. They are not willing to accept long hallways with anchors at each end anymore.”

_“What you'll end up seeing in 10 years are shopping centers that are more of a hybrid — discount retailers mixed with specialty.” says David Kass.

> pronajímatelné jednotky různých velikostí; střídání: obchody různé, restaurace, kavárny, office ...

_důležítý bod - zábava
The trend toward mixing shopping with recreation is here to stay. But the retail center of the future won't be complete with just a movieplex. There will be a range of diversions to keep the traffic coming: an aquarium, a comedy club, an IMAX, a concert venue.
