OPEN-AIR SHOPPING CENTERWHAT IS AN OPEN-AIR SHOPPING CENTER?
An Open-Air Shopping Center (OASC) is a form of business organization that promotes a territorially balanced distribution of activity and responds to the close connection between commerce and urban reality.
OASCs are configured as the format that contributes to the modernization and revitalization of traditional commercial areas, with positive impacts of an economic and social nature. Additionally, they constitute a decisive factor in preserving urban spaces, acting as a guarantee against city desertification, and a key aspect in enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Thus, the implementation of Open-Air Shopping Centers provides affiliated establishments with a series of benefits, including the overall conception of these spaces – encompassing services, culture, and leisure – specialization, a collective image, and accessibility, thanks to their location in an urban area.
