Out-of-Town and Town Centres

Julian E. Markham

Chapter 8 in The Future of Shopping, 1998, pp 62-77 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The problems, and the events, which have been described as a small section of the many incidental components of the retail planning process over the past twenty years have had both good and bad effects on town centres. Although some, mainly smaller, towns evoke a character of the market place, and all it should convey, for the sale of such items as food, household goods, etc. it is now generally accepted that bulk food retailing, DIY items and so on, should be located more conveniently out-of-town, but equally could be placed on the edge of the central area. It is true, however, that this has released property for retailers who are more suitable to town centres and that the result has been a greater variety which is more sympathetic to the central environment.
