TRANSPORTATION:
SHOPPING MALL
The essential purpose of transportation is to bring people or goods to places
where they are needed, and to concentrate the greatest variety of goods and
people within a limited area, in order to widen the possibility of choice without
making it necessary to travel farther than it seems. A good transportation
system minimizes unnecessary transportation; and in any event, it orders a
change of speed and mode to fit a diversity of human purposes. The Shopping
Mall, on the other hand, consists of any large Shopping Center with mixed
application that is combined with shops, services, offices, restaurants,
entertainment and other functions (Eastemct, 2009).
If, in an urban region, big shopping malls are established for distributing the
production needed by citizens, we should pay attention to traffic and parking
lots needed by people. Increasing the purchasing power of the people and the
use of new transporting tools have a great impact on welcoming people buying
from these places regardless of distance so that, in big cities, most goods and
basic daily needs regardless of their place of residence can be found in
commercial centers in the city center (Karami, 2003: 26).
