Doesn&#x27;t matter too much. Only problem is that it exists only so long as the mall developer is making a profit on the space. This is hardly true with say, the cultural districts of cities, where taxpayers foot the bill, and where there is intrinsic real estate value. Many cities have been successful with the latter model, Pittsburgh comes to mind- with its very town-square-ish Southside and Portland&#x27;s Pearl District- both urban rejuvenation projects which did not involve converting the whole place into a massive mall.
