SeminarThe future of bricks and mortar retailing: have we reached the end of Main Street?
$60.00From the Agora to the shopping mall, bricks and mortar shopping has been central to the experience of urban life. The shopping strip has been an essential part of urban form, the mall is synonymous with the automobile age. Shopping is an economic and social interaction that brings life, character, diversity and cachet to the central arcades and suburban strips of our cities. Now with the incursion of Amazon and other on-line retailers, changing consumer preferences and shifting modes of transport and settlement, the future of bricks and mortar retailing is under threat. Our speakers will give us an indication of where to now.
