The Urban Transformation of Yesterday's Malls

Evening Forum

As online retail has brought a new level of convenience to shopping, large, car-oriented malls and shopping centers around the country have suffered. Built on what was once the urban frontier, many of these 20th-century spaces sit on large sites now considered the “inner ring” suburbs or even the urban core. These underutilized forms present opportunities for re-imagination, redevelopment and a more cohesive pattern of urban development. Come hear how these sites are being rethought all around the Bay Area.
