INTRODUTION
Shopping malls are concentration of retail, service, and entertainment
enterprises designed to serve the surrounding region. Whether in the form
of Bazaar or Market Place shopping spaces from the very beginning of the
human civilization used to remain the essential part of common men's life.
However, present day malls are more far more diverse and complex in term
of internal spatial planning, overall organization of various functions and
decisions regarding the site/location criteria keeping in view the not only
the unorganized and unpredictable growth of our cites but also the rapidly
changing and fluctuating trends and preferences of our society.

In the context of gurugram, shopping malls being hub of commercial and

retail activity, they are bound to become spots of problems such as
inadequate parking spaces, traffic congestion and hawkers encroachments
etc. Thus provision of ample parking spaces, service roads and appropriate
space provision for vendors need to be the part and parcel of planning
consideration. Choice of site for shopping centres thus also becomes critical
i.e. it should be appropriate w.r.t accessibility and availability of
infrastructure and services.

Shopping centres are bound to attract attention of a sizeable number of

population if well designed, appropriately planned and suitably located thus
it is also essential to consider the role of mall as a cultural hotspot for any
locality or area for which they are planned. Shopping malls are the points
where both utilitarian as well as entertainment opportunities are available
at one spot. Shopping centres provide opportunity to further heighten social
activity and interaction via appropriate design and planning considerations.

SCOPE

Agree i that in last decades, with the postmodern times, shopping spaces
are changing into a new kind of space to interact in social terms. I think
postmodern architecture has also pay a special attention to shopping
spaces design as it had never happened before. Not only in terms of
conceiving shopping spaces but also in trying to understand the way the
work (Koolhaas, Herzog, etc). It's an interesting aspect to study since it
might give us some clues about our new society and the way we use our
designed spaces.
