Challenges Facing the Modern Urban Space — Cumulative exam

Question 15 • W Geography_B_IC

How has the suburban environment changed shopping?

Answer

Specialty shops that offer high-quality goods have been created to address one specific need.

To consolidate space, shops often are located on the bottom floor of large buildings, with the upper floors used as office or residential space.

Strip malls, big-box retail stores, malls, and drive-throughs have been developed to accommodate shoppers driving automobiles.

Outdoor shopping spaces located in pedestrian zones have been developed to cater to shoppers walking or biking.

Explanation

Suburban areas are generally spread out, so people often drive to shop. Strip malls, big-box stores, malls, and drive-throughs are designed to serve shoppers arriving by automobile. Outdoor pedestrian shopping zones and shops integrated into large mixed-use buildings are more associated with walkable urban environments.
