摘要

The most frequently reported trends of failing malls are that the retail focus shifts from comparison and destination goods/services, such as department stores and high-end retail, to convenience stores. With lack of success throughout the country, very few new pedestrianPedestrians malls were built during the 1980s and ‘90 s. Additionally, as a result of underperformance, most of the malls that failed were removed and, in most cases, in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pasadena, Burbank, Kalamazoo, Raleigh, Portland, Little Rock, and Tampa, the pedestrianPedestrians malls returned to the urban street from which they originated. In many cities, reopening the street to cars resulted in increased sales on the former-mall, increased property values, and decreased vacancy rates. However, more than car traffic was needed in other places to restore the retail businesses or popularity that existed prior to their pedestrianPedestrians malls. Today, there are approximately 15 successful pedestrianPedestrians malls in the United States that continue to thrive. Two transitTransit and pedestrianPedestrians mall hybrids, arguably the most successful of their type, have recently been revitalized, Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the 16th Street Transitway Mall in Denver, Colorado. The Denver Mall opened in 1982 and is currently under construction as part of a redesign and revitalization effort.
