-a shopping mall is a modern, chiefly ‘north american’, term for a form of ‘shopping precinct’ or ‘shopping center’, in which one or more buildings form a complex of shops representing merchandisers with interconnecting walkways that enable customers to walk from ‘unit’ to ‘unit’-
.
(a shopping arcade is a specific form serving the same purpose)
(many early ‘shopping arcades’ such the ‘Burlington Arcade’ in ‘London’, the ‘Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II’ in ‘Milan’ and numerous ‘arcades’ in ‘Paris’ are famous and still trading)
(however, many smaller ‘arcades’ have been demolished, replaced with large centers or “malls”, often accessible by vehicle)
(technical innovations such as ‘electric lighting’ and ‘escalators’ were introduced from the ‘late 19th century’)
(from the late 20th century, entertainment venues such as ‘movie theaters’ and ‘restaurants began to be added)
.
(as a single built structure, early shopping centers were often architecturally significant constructions, enabling wealthier patrons to buy goods in spaces protected from the ‘weather’)
