Retail development is a catalyst. It’s synonymous with all things capitalist. It’s the primary driver of commerce and economy, of housing and density, of transportation infrastructure and mobility, and operates both within private and public realms. It’s inherently a public space as the population of our communities are the core of its function and purpose, yet it’s managed and maintained as a private entity providing, and profiting from, the service to its communities.
How has, and how can, retail function as both a private entity and public space going forward?
