| Abstract: |
The life and commerce of city streets has been altered radically with the development of strip malls, shopping malls, mail order alternatives, and the electronic shopping options provided by the computer, telephone, and fax. As U.S. growth management practices are implemented local retail districts are making efforts to revitalize and regain their competitive retail position. Physical improvements are made to recreate pedestrian-friendly, human scale streetscapes, in addition to restoring shops and infrastructure. |
