Numbers of neighbourhood retailers declining
Destination retailers becoming more prevalent
Alternatives less desirable
Gap in research knowledge

Accessibility of centre - due to their market and also geography?
Characteristics of the centre
Local market
Wider market
Fit with theoretical concepts
![Page 21: Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are · PDF fileDr Felicity Powell and Dr Abigail Allan Opus Central Laboratories Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051600/5aae769d7f8b9a22118c0e32/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Q2. Are good links to public transport significant?
Destination retailers anticipate customers arrive by car
Again nature of their markets?
Public transport less important generally
But important for a few retailers
![Page 22: Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are · PDF fileDr Felicity Powell and Dr Abigail Allan Opus Central Laboratories Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051600/5aae769d7f8b9a22118c0e32/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So what can planners manipulate to make centres more favourable?
Improve access
o by car and/or public transport
o increase parking
Enhance the centre as a destination - for example:
o upgrade public buildings
o develop active frontages
o install public art
o improve amenities for pedestrians
o introduce opportunities to linger (e.g seating or playspace)

Challenges
Not reflect current/popular thinking
Remote locations
Heritage areas
Location of consumer markets
![Page 24: Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are · PDF fileDr Felicity Powell and Dr Abigail Allan Opus Central Laboratories Successful neighbourhood shopping centres: What are](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051600/5aae769d7f8b9a22118c0e32/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In conclusion
Destination retailers are important
because otherwise centres may fail
Markets for neighbourhood centres
not purely local
Need to cater for customers travelling
by car
