eScaping in the city, retailvents in socio-spatially managed futures.

Research Output

From a mercantile past, of the travelling merchant and adventures and travels around the world, to proliferation of market towns, to the growth of individual – specialist – shops and then to the emergence of retail giants (supermarkets to superstores), retail has gone through many changes. With the emergence of hypermarkets, of self-service retail, global retail chains, and the emergence of luxuriant city centre shopping (Park, Reisinger and Noh 2010), so too the world has witnessed a radical change in the expectations of consumers. This has been discussed as a transition of shopping as activity based on functionality to one based on leisure values (Carr 1990; Timothy 2005). The integration of retail with an online digital platform has seen these values altered again.
