Whilst political uncertainty and the growth of online shopping may be two of the latest challenges in the retail industry, our towns and city centres have always been shaped by a series of technological, social and political revolutions.
The purpose of this talk by Prof Simon Quin is to examine how, after many years of mono-functionality focused upon retailing, our centres are experiencing something of a renaissance, and remerging as multi-functional ones, supporting leisure and recreation, employment, tourism, heritage, culture, housing, employment, education, health and wellbeing as well as retail. But how should retail adapt to this new normal?
