SHOPPING CENTRES: THE NEED TO COVER MORE GROUND
Covering more ground for the future of retail in India entails developing better Shopping Centres and a lot more of them – places that are not seen as traffic nightmares, energy guzzlers or, worst of all, money machines, but instead, places that are seen as a core need for consumption (read economic) growth.
However, until Shopping Centres do not figure in the Government’s ‘Infrastructure Development’ priorities, this will remain a distant dream.
Leading the way towards initiating integrated and inclusive approach to shopping centre development, ISCF 2011 will carry forward the insights and ideas into an actionable agenda, and the outcome will be highlighted to the national press, and IMAGES along with industry associations like SCAI and NRAI will pursue the points with the regulatory authorities, delivering relevant solutions for profitable growth of retail in the country.
