Abstract

The history of shopping centers illustrates one of the ways planners have attempted to
link physical design to social reform. The leading theorists of the shopping center
movement, Victor Gruen and James Rouse, encouraged the creation of controlled
environments as exciting as the city but without its usual attendant nuisances. The
adaptation of techniques they pioneered in the suburbs has helped revitalize urban
retailing downtown, but has raised new questions about the compatibility of urban
malls with the needs of the surrounding city.
