The Mall is Dead: Who Killed It, Why It's Not Coming Back and What's Next for Retail

35,363 views

Published on

The Mall is Dead, the second SlideShare in a series exploring the future of retail from North American Properties - Atlanta (NAP), examines the decline of malls and how the hottest retail and restaurant concepts are increasingly choosing walkable, urban mixed-use locations instead of malls.

The first SlideShare in The Future of Retail series, “The Secret Sauce: Why Retail and Mixed-Use Projects Need Local Chefs,” was launched at the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) RECon Convention in Las Vegas last month.

  • For a long time we have been preaching to our clients about creating a experiences for their customers that provide those emotional 'attractions' I call the 'Disneyland experience.' - Good illustrations to what we believe is essential in retail marketing.

  • The presentation applies to the USA... where each person has close to 20 square feet of retail space to himself. The situation is triggered/worsened by the low population density and the high presence of world top retailers. In places like Dubai, malls are still on the increase and are heavily patronized.
