“shopping centers need to have a soul and individual personality…” – ICSC Mid-Atlantic Conference

inPLACE Design participated in a number of discussions on the current trends in retail, implementing retail into transit-oriented development, and the role of placemaking to increase value and revenue at shopping centers. A key take away from the conference was that shopping centers need to have a soul and individual personality to be truly successful.
