Traditional Shopping: From Bazaars to Shopping Centres

Julian E. Markham

Chapter 6 in The Future of Shopping, 1998, pp 41-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A review of the likely effects of technology on shopping would be fairly useless without a comparative review of traditional shopping as we know it. We should look at the historical background first, to see why and how the present shopping hierarchy has evolved and whether the basis for its undoubted success is likely to be undermined by new ideas. Then, perhaps, we should consider the present shopping developments — why they have taken their present form, their successes, and their failures. Then we should look at the future trends which are shaping new developments. Retailers’ strategies are paramount, insofar as they echo the needs of the consumer.
