Shopping malls have never been just about shopping. They began in the United States after the Second World War and, for the young, they were always a face to ‘hang out’ and be seen. However, the world has moved on, and just providing shops and a food court is no longer enough to keep malls alive. Malls became less popular at the start of the 21st century, mainly because of online shopping. There is even a website, deadmalls.com, which shows the end of many US malls. Malls need to change to survive.
Malls are already becoming bigger and better all over the world. Asia and not the US is now the ‘mallcapital’ of the world and is home to the five largest malls in the world. China is home to the two largest. Some malls in the Middle East and East Asia are starting to specialise. It is predicted that this willhappen more and more in the future. Some malls will only sell electrical items, for example, or onlyfashion for young people. Some malls will only include expensive shops or cheap shops, as alreadyhappens in Bangkok and Singapore. Malls are becoming ‘the new downtown’, with cinemas, bowling alleys, climbing walls and even concert halls. Xanadu, a mall 30 km from Madrid, is a recreation centre for a family day out as well as a shopping centre, with ski slopes, minigolf, go-karts, balloon rides, bowling and billiards. We have always been able to grab a burger at the mall, but in the future we are going to see ‘fine dining’ too, with more expensive restaurants based at malls, as well as spas, fitness centres and art galleries. There are also going to be more apartments and office space so that more people can live, work, shop and be entertained in one location.
The future of malls looks exciting: there will be ‘virtual malls’ and technology will be used within malls to help us shop, fid bargains and even park our car. With all these creative innovations, the mall will go from strength to strength.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
