ABSTRACT

Recent years have witnessed a shift from central urban location of shopping facilities to extra-urban locations. This trend, which has become a prominent one in North-America, is increasingly also observed in several European countries (e.g., France, Germany). The Netherlands has always had a discouraging policy for out-of-town shopping malls. Recently, however, a new experiment has been implemented, in the Greater Rotterdam area. This paper deals with the potential competition of an out-of-town shopping mall in the retail sector with respect to the inner city of Rotterdam. Based on a survey questionnaire, this paper aims to identify the motives of visitors/buyers for such largescale shopping facilities. Analytical research into the nature (run or fun shopping), and the spatial market area of a particular site, located in Greater Rotterdam (Alexandrium), shows that the anticipated policy goals are met, so that the shopping mall concerned turns into a regional market for run shopping purposes.
