March 2, 2015Organization of Retail – Planned Retail Space
Review
Planned retail and unplanned retail space
How are these different?
o Management, organization, spatial structure
management
unplanned - no centralized management control – hard to determine where
stores are located
organization
unplanned – linear, running along streets
planned – control, very careful structure, entrance & exit points
What are the typical retail formats for both?
o Planned – shopping malls, power centres
o Unplanned – retail strips
Are there differences in geography?
o unplanned – urban areas
What are the challenges for both? Yes
o retail strips – isn’t a process of cooperation between retailers and sellers – terms of ability
to serve a large population
o connecting to local population will be effective
Shopping Malls
Context
Suburbanization
o Separation of land uses
increase distances between activities
tends to suggest that retail is all independent – people will drive
o Centralized retail locations
o Players in shopping mall develop
strong association between major retailers and the actual development of the
planned space
means that if you aren’t part of the relationship it is difficult to get access to
planned retail space
o Suburban population characteristics
what does our population look like (characteristics in term of income, family
structure, age, etc.)
middle class population
tend to be family based
clusters of higher and lower income
overall a very narrow income
dominated by shopping rather than basic/convenience stores
o Evolution of shopping mall formats
focused on a relatively large trade area – 10-15km
o Spatial organization of shopping malls
crucial: a planned facility – very carefully selected entrance/exit points and
pathways
