Ashopping mall(or simplymall) is a large indoorshopping center,usuallyanchoredbydepartment stores.The termmalloriginally meanta pedestrian promenadewith shops along it, but in the late 1960s, it began to be used as a generic term for the large enclosed shopping centers that were becoming increasingly commonplace.[1][2]In the United Kingdom and other countries, shopping malls may be calledshopping centres.

In recent decades, malls have declined considerably inNorth America,particularly in subprime locations, and some have closed and become so-called "dead malls".[3]Successful exceptions have added entertainment and experiential features, addedbig-box storesas anchors, or converted to other specialized shopping center formats such aspower centers,lifestyle centers,factory outletcenters, andfestival marketplaces.[4]In Canada, shopping centres have frequently been replaced with mixed-use high-rise communities.[5]In manyEuropean countriesandAsian countries,shopping malls continue to grow and thrive.[6]

Terminology

edit

In the United States,Persian Gulf countries,and India, the termshopping mallis usually applied to enclosed retail structures (and is generally abbreviated to simplymall), whileshopping centerusually refers to open-air retail complexes; both types of facilities usually have largeparking lots,face major trafficarterials,and have few pedestrian connections to surrounding neighborhoods.[7]Outside of North America, the termsshopping precinctandshoppingarcadeare also used.

In the UK, such complexes are consideredshopping centresthoughshopping centrecovers many more sizes and types of centers than the North Americanmall.Other countries follow UK usage. InCanadian English,and often in Australia and New Zealand, the termmallmay be used informally butshopping centeror merelycenterwill feature in the name of the complex (such asToronto Eaton Centre). The termmallis less-commonly a part of the name of the complex.[original research?]

Further information:Shopping center § Types

TheInternational Council of Shopping Centers,based inNew York City,classifies two types of shopping centers as malls: regional malls and superregional malls. A regional mall, per the International Council of Shopping Centers, is a shopping mall with 400,000 sq ft (37,000 m2) to 800,000 sq ft (74,000 m2)gross leasable areawith at least twoanchor stores.[8]A super-regional mall, per the International Council of Shopping Centers, is a shopping mall with over 800,000 sq ft (74,000 m2) of gross leasable area, three or more anchors, mass merchant, more variety, fashionapparel,and serves as the dominant shopping venue for the region (25 miles or 40 km) in which it is located.[8]Not classified as malls are smaller formats such asstrip mallsandneighborhood shopping centers,and specialized formats such aspower centers,festival marketplaces,andoutlet centers.[4]

History

edit

Forerunners to the shopping mall

edit

TheGalleria Vittorio Emanuele IIinterior in Milan which opened in 1877

Shopping centers in general may have their origins in public markets and, in the Middle East, coveredbazaars.

In 1798, the first covered shopping passage was built in Paris, thePassage du Caire.[9]TheBurlington Arcadein London was opened in 1819.[10]The ArcadeinProvidence, Rhode Island,built in 1828, claims to be the first shopping arcade in the United States.[11]Western European cities in particular built many arcade-style shopping centers. TheGalleria Vittorio Emanuele IIin Milan, which opened in 1877, was larger than its predecessors, and inspired the use of the term "galleria" for many other shopping arcades and malls.[12][13]

In the mid-20th century, with the rise of thesuburbandautomobileculture in the United States, a new style of shopping center was created away fromdowntowns.[14]Early shopping centers designed for the automobile includeMarket Square,Lake Forest, Illinois(1916), andCountry Club Plaza,Kansas City, Missouri(1924).[15]

The suburban shopping center concept evolved further in the United States afterWorld War II,with larger open-air shopping centers anchored by major department stores, such as the 550,000-square-foot (51,000 m2)Broadway-Crenshaw CenterinLos Angeles,built in 1947 and anchored by a five-storyBroadwayand aMay Company California.[16]

Downtown pedestrian malls and use of termmall

edit

In the late 1950s and into the 1960s, the term "shopping mall" was first used, but in the original sense of the word "mall", meaning a pedestrian promenade in the U.S., or in U.K. usage, a "shopping precinct". Early downtown pedestrianized malls included theKalamazoo Mall(the first, in 1959), "Shoppers' See-Way" inToledo,Lincoln Road MallinMiami Beach,Santa Monica Mall(1965).[17][18][19]

AlthoughBergen Mallopened in 1957 using the name "mall" and inspired other suburban shopping centers to rebrand themselves as malls, these types of properties were still referred to as "shopping centers" until the late 1960s.[20][page needed]

Enclosed malls

edit
The original interior ofShopping,built in 1955 and one of the first enclosed malls in the world, inLuleå,Sweden

The enclosed shopping center, which would eventually be known as the shopping mall, did not appear in mainstream until the mid-1950s. One of the earliest examples was theValley Fair Shopping CenterinAppleton, Wisconsin,[21]which opened on March 10, 1955. Valley Fair featured a number of modern features including central heating and cooling, a large outdoor parking area, semi-detached anchor stores, and restaurants. Later that year the world's first fully enclosed shopping mall was opened inLuleå,in northern Sweden (architect:Ralph Erskine) and was namedShopping;the region now claims the highest shopping center density in Europe.[22]

The idea of a regionally-sized, fully enclosed shopping complex was pioneered in 1956 by the Austrian-born architect and American immigrantVictor Gruen.[23][24][25]This new generation of regional-size shopping centers began with the Gruen-designedSouthdale Center,which opened in theTwin Citiessuburb ofEdina, Minnesota,United States in October 1956.[24][25]For pioneering the soon-to-be enormously popular mall concept in this form, Gruen has been called the "most influential architect of the twentieth century" byMalcolm Gladwell.[26]

The first retail complex to be promoted as a "mall" wasParamus, New Jersey'sBergen Mall,which opened with an open-air format on November 14, 1957,[27]and was later enclosed in 1973. Aside fromSouthdale Center,significant early enclosed shopping malls wereHarundale Mall(1958) in Glen Burnie, Maryland,[28]Big Town Mall(1959) in Mesquite, Texas,Chris-Town Mall(1961) in Phoenix, Arizona, andRandhurst Center(1962) in Mount Prospect, Illinois.

Other early malls moved retailing away from the dense, commercial downtowns into the largely residential suburbs. This formula (enclosed space with stores attached, away from downtown, and accessible only by automobile) became a popular way to build retail across the world. Gruen himself came to abhor this effect of his new design; he decried the creation of enormous "land wasting seas of parking" and the spread of suburban sprawl.[29][30]

Even though malls mostly appeared in suburban areas in the U.S., some U.S. cities facilitated the construction of enclosed malls downtown as an effort to revive city centers and allow them to compete effectively with suburban malls. Examples includedMain Place Mallin Buffalo (1969) and The Gallery (1977, nowFashion District Philadelphia) in Philadelphia. Other cities created open-airpedestrian malls.

In the United States, developers such asA. Alfred TaubmanofTaubman Centersextended the concept further in 1980, withterrazzotiles at theMall at Short HillsinNew Jersey,indoor fountains, and two levels allowing a shopper to make a circuit of all the stores. Taubman believed carpeting increased friction, slowing down customers, so it was removed. Fading daylight through glass panels was supplemented by gradually increased electric lighting, making it seem like the afternoon was lasting longer, which encouraged shoppers to linger.[31][32]

Decline of shopping malls in the United States

edit

In the United States, in the mid-1990s, malls were still being constructed at a rate of 140 a year.[33]But in 2001, aPricewaterhouseCoopersstudy found that underperforming and vacant malls, known as "greyfield" and "dead mall" estates, were an emerging problem. In 2007, a year before theGreat Recession,no new malls were built in America, for the first time in 50 years.[34]City Creek Center MallinSalt Lake City,which opened in March 2012, was the first to be built since the recession.[15]

Malls began to lose consumers to open-air power centers and lifestyle centers during the 1990s, as consumers preferred to park right in front of and walk directly into big-box stores with lower prices and without theoverheadof traditional malls (i.e., long enclosed corridors).[35][36][37][38]

Another issue was that the growth-crazed American commercial real estate industry had simply built too many nice places to shop—far more than could be reasonably justified by the actual growth of the American population, retail sales, or any other economic indicator. The number of American shopping centers exploded from 4,500 in 1960 to 70,000 by 1986 to just under 108,000 by 2010.[39]

Thus, the number of dead malls increased significantly in the early 21st century. The economic health of malls across the United States has been in decline, as revealed by high vacancy rates. From 2006 to 2010, the percentage of malls that are considered to be "dying" by real estate experts (have a vacancy rate of at least 40%), unhealthy (20–40%), or in trouble (10–20%) all increased greatly, and these high vacancy rates only partially decreased from 2010 to 2014.[40]In 2014, nearly 3% of all malls in the United States were considered to be "dying" (40% or higher vacancy rates) and nearly one-fifth of all malls had vacancy rates considered "troubling" (10% or higher). Some real estate experts say the "fundamental problem" is a glut of malls in many parts of the country creating a market that is "extremely over-retailed".[40]By the time shopping mall operatorUnibail-Rodamco-Westfielddecided to exit the American market in 2022, the United States had an average of 24.5 square feet of retail space per capita (in contrast to 4.5 square feet per capita in Europe).[41]

In 2019,The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yardsopened as an upscale mall in New York City with "a 'Fifth Avenue' mix of shops ", such asH&M,Zara,andSephorabelow them. This is one of the first two malls built recently, along withAmerican Dreamin which both opened in 2019 sinceCity Creek Center.[42]

Online shopping has also emerged as a major competitor to shopping malls. In theUnited States,online shopping has accounted for an increasing share of total retail sales.[43]In 2013, roughly 200 out of 1,300 malls across the United States were going out of business.[44]To combat this trend, developers have converted malls into other uses including attractions such as parks, movie theaters, gyms, and even fishing lakes.[45]In the United States, the 600,000 square footHighland Mallwill be a campus forAustin Community College.[46]InFrance,the So Ouest mall outside ofPariswas designed to resemble elegant,Louis XV-style apartments and includes 17,000 square metres (180,000 sq ft) of green space.[47]The Australian mall companyWestfieldlaunched an online mall (and later a mobile app) with 150 stores, 3,000 brands and over 1 million products.[48]

TheCOVID-19 pandemicalso significantly impacted the retail industry. Government regulations temporarily closed malls, increased entrance controls, and imposed strict public sanitation requirements.[49]

Vertical malls

edit

High land prices in populous cities have led to the concept of the "vertical mall", in which space allocated to retail is configured over a number of stories accessible byelevatorsand/orescalators(usually both) linking the different levels of the mall. The challenge of this type of mall is to overcome the natural tendency of shoppers to move horizontally and encourage shoppers to move upwards and downwards.[50]The concept of a vertical mall was originally conceived in the late 1960s by the Mafco Company, former shopping center development division ofMarshall Field & Co.TheWater Tower Placeskyscraper inChicago,Illinois was built in 1975 by Urban Retail Properties. It contains a hotel, luxury condominiums, and office space and sits atop a block-long base containing an eight-level atrium-style retail mall that fronts on theMagnificent Mile.[citation needed]

Vertical malls are common in densely populated conurbations in East and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong in particular has numerous examples such asTimes Square,Dragon Centre,Apm,Langham Place,[50]ISQUARE,Hysan PlaceandThe One.

A vertical mall may also be built where the geography prevents building outward or there are other restrictions on construction, such as historic buildings or significantarcheology.TheDarwin Shopping Centreand associated malls inShrewsbury,UK, are built on the side of a steep hill, around the former town walls;[51]consequently the shopping center is split over seven floors vertically – two locations horizontally – connected by elevators, escalators and bridge walkways. Some establishments incorporate such designs into their layout, such as Shrewsbury's formerMcDonald's,split into four stories with multiplemezzanineswhich featured medieval castle vaults – complete witharrowslits– in the basement dining rooms.

Components

edit

Food court

edit
Main article:Food court

A common feature of shopping malls is a food court: this typically consists of a number offast foodvendors of various types, surrounding a shared seating area.

Department stores

edit
Main articles:Department storeandAnchor store

When the shopping mall format was developed byVictor Gruenin the mid-1950s, signing larger department stores was necessary for the financial stability of the projects, and to draw retail traffic that would result in visits to the smaller stores in the mall as well. These larger stores are termed anchor stores or draw tenants. In physical configuration, anchor stores are normally located as far from each other as possible to maximize the amount of traffic from one anchor to another.[citation needed]

Europe

edit

There are a reported 222 malls in Europe. In 2014, these malls had combined sales of US$12.47 billion.[52]This represented a 10% bump in revenues from the prior year.[52]

U.K. and Ireland

edit

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, both open-air and enclosed centers are commonly referred to asshopping centres.Mallprimarily refers to either a shopping mall – a place where a collection ofshopsall adjoin a pedestrian area – or an exclusively pedestrianized street that allows shoppers to walk without interference from vehicle traffic.

The majority of British enclosed shopping centres, the equivalent of a U.S. mall, are located in city centres, usually found in old and historic shopping districts and surrounded by subsidiary open air shopping streets. Large examples includeWestquayinSouthampton;Manchester Arndale;Bullring Birmingham;Liverpool One;Trinity Leeds;Buchanan Galleries inGlasgow;St James QuarterinEdinburgh;andEldon SquareinNewcastle upon Tyne.In addition to the inner city shopping centres, large UKconurbationswill also have large out-of-town "regional malls" such as theMetrocentreinGateshead;Meadowhall Centre,SheffieldservingSouth Yorkshire;theTrafford CentreinGreater Manchester;White Rose CentreinLeeds;theMerry Hill CentrenearDudley;andBluewaterinKent.These centres were built in the 1980s and 1990s, but planning regulations prohibit the construction of any more. Out-of-town shopping developments in the UK are now focused onretail parks,which consist of groups of warehouse style shops with individual entrances from outdoors. Planning policy prioritizes the development of existing town centres, although with patchy success.[53]Westfield London(White City) is the largest shopping centre in Europe.[citation needed]

Russia

edit

InRussia,on the other hand, as of 2013a large number of new malls had been built near major cities, notably theMEGA mallssuch as Mega Belaya Dacha mall nearMoscow.In large part they were financed by international investors and were popular with shoppers from the emerging middle class.[54]

Shopping property management firms

edit

A shoppingproperty managementfirm is a company that specializes in owning and managing shopping malls. Most shopping property management firms own at least 20 malls. Some firms use a similar naming scheme for most of their malls; for example,Mills Corporationputs "Mills" in most of its mall names andSM Prime Holdingsof thePhilippinesputs "SM" in all of its malls, as well as anchor stores such as The SM Store, SM Appliance Center, SM Hypermarket, SM Cinema, and SM Supermarket. In the UK,The Mall Fundchanges the name of any center it buys to"The Mall (location)",using its pink-M logo; when it sells a mall the center reverts to its own name and branding, such asthe Ashley CentreinEpsom.[55]Similarly, following its rebranding from Capital Shopping Centres,intu Propertiesrenamed many of its centres to"intu (name/location)"(such asintu Lakeside); again, malls removed from the network revert to their own brand (see for instanceThe Glades in Bromley).

edit

One controversial aspect of malls has been their effective displacement of traditionalmain streetsorhigh streets.Some consumers prefer malls, with their parking garages, controlled environments, and privatesecurity guards,overcentral business districts(CBD) ordowntowns,which frequently have limited parking, poor maintenance, outdoor weather, and limitedpolicecoverage.[56][57]

In response, a few jurisdictions, notablyCalifornia,have expanded the right offreedom of speechto ensure that speakers will be able to reach consumers who prefer to shop, eat, and socialize within the boundaries of privately owned malls.[35][58]The Supreme Court decisionPruneyard Shopping Center v. Robinswas issued on 9 June 1980 which affirmed the decision of the California Supreme Court in a case that arose out of a free speech dispute between the Pruneyard Shopping Center in Campbell, California, and several local high school students.
