THE REGIONAL CENTER AND DOWNTOWN

K C Welch

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Regional suburban shopping centers pose an entirely new twentieth-century architectural problem. In several metropolitan areas, more centers have been constructed than the market can support. In some cases it will take years for the suburban market to catch up with these developments. This article deals mainly with the newer suburban regional center, completely planned and integrated as a unit under a single management. It discusses how the modern shopping center has aided in the development of suburban areas and how it is used as a model for rehabilitating downtown areas or central business districts.
