The hustle
and bustle of a city life, its streets, the shopping arenas and the food is
what defines the soul of the city. These are at the core of any city that you
visit across the globe. You will often hear people visiting cities to explore
its street life and not to explore the malls.
While there
is an increase in the number of malls in the city there is also a growing
phenomenon of malls shutting shop. Wonder why is this happening? The mall
culture has its perks but has led to entrapping people in an enclosure. The
soul of the city is lost,-shopping and entertainment should be more social in
nature and play a vital role in weaving the fabric of the city.
What a city
needs is a high-street shopping experience and not a shopping mall. A place
they can call their own, a place that defines the story of the city, a place
where people can just hang out and unwind, this needs to happen on the streets where
it enlivens city life.. A visit to any vibrant and successful city is a
testimony to the fact that high streets are an integral part of their lives and
that it adds characterto the city.
