Exploring the transformation and challenges facing urban commerce in the twenty-first century, this book analyzes the retail apocalypse, the decline of shopping malls, commercial gentrification, the evolution of brick-and-mortar stores and touristification.

Urban Retail Geographies provides readers with an in-depth exploration of the ongoing shifts in urban retail landscapes, offering insights into the factors reshaping commerce in modern cities. The book delves into issues such as the decline of traditional retail, the restructuring of city centres, and the challenges of balancing tourism and local commerce. Contributors explore the complexities of retail in urban contexts, examining how shifting economic trends and consumer behaviours are reshaping cities. They provide a detailed examination of how urban commerce evolves, reflecting broader social and spatial changes. By combining theoretical insights with diverse international case studies, the book delivers both academic analysis and practical strategies for stakeholders. Readers will benefit from a holistic view of how retail is evolving, supported by data-driven research and real-world examples from various global cities.

The book is aimed at academics and scholars across retail, marketing and urban studies who seek to understand the evolving relationship between commerce and urban development. It also provides actionable insights for urban planners, policymakers and retail professionals.
