Good retail design can make our city centers more vibrant, diverse, and safe. The latest edition of Retail Design International showcases exciting concepts that create sustainable and inviting retail spaces—perfect for strolling. From entire neighborhoods to individual retail spaces, the trend is clearly moving towards re-use and adaptive reuse of existing structures. Old department stores and shopping centers are being repurposed creatively, making efficient use of space and resources. The urban mining principle, inspired by the circular economy, demonstrates how sustainability can drive positive change. With the approach „Reduce, Re-use, Recycle,“ as much material as possible remains in the circular economy. Retail design can pave the way for a more sustainable use of resources.
