Shopping Towns USA: The Planning of Shopping Centers
The shopping center is one of the few new building types created in our time. It also represents one of the rare instances in which a number of individual business enterprises, in banding together, are ready to submit to certain over-all rules in order to further their common welfare. Because shopping centers represent groupings of struc tures and because of the underlying cooperative spirit in volved, the need for environmental planning for this build ing type is obvious. Where this need has been fully understood shopping centers have taken on the character istics of urban organisms serving a multitude of human needs and activities, thus justifying the designation: SHOPPING TOWNS. The subtitle of this book indicates that it is concerned with PLANNING. For purposes of this book the term planning is used in the widest sense. Discussion is not limited to physical planning alone, but includes the eco nomic, financial, legal, engineering, sociological, traffic, and merchandising aspects of planning as they apply to shopping center problems.
