From failing shopping centers to great neighborhoods. The death of a mall does not have to be bad news. Careful redevelopment can be the recipe for an economic rebound. (2001, Greyfields into Goldfields, Congress for the New Urbanism & PricewaterhouseCoopers) Malls: Death of an American icon The shopping mall is headed the way of the drive-in movie and the eight-track. What's replacing it? (2003, CNN/Money) Trend could spell trouble for malls The American mall, with its department store anchors, culinarily challenged food courts, concrete shells and native denizen, "the mall rat", is becoming an endangered species (2007, Herald Tribune) Mall failure is a growing trend in the U.S. Price Waterhouse Coopers conservatively estimates that there are as many as 140 regional malls that are already greyfields with another 200 to 250 such malls approaching greyfield status. Together, these two categories represent 18% of all regional malls nationally. (2007, John Norquist, Congress of New Urbanism) Retrofitting Suburbia "Last year was the first in half a century that a new indoor mall didn't open somewhere in the country - a precipitous decline since the mid-1990’s when they rose at a rate of 140 a year". (2008, Retrofitting Suburbia, by Ellen Dunham-Jones, CNU board member) Is The Mall Dead? With lighter wallets and heavier burdens, Americans are rethinking their conspicuous consumption. (2008, Newsweek) | ||||||
