Retail Renaissance

Retail Renaissance in Small Market Towns was funded by the British Council of Shopping Centres Educational Trust | 2004.

Overview

Although there has been significant investment in retail development in large cities across the UK in recent year, small towns have lagged behind, and have even declined as a result. This project aimed to determine what could be learnt from more successful small towns for application more widely. The good practice guidance that resulted has been published as The Smaller Towns Report.
