Croydon and the Resurrection of the Shopping Mall
Croydon, UK
This research challenges the issue
concerning town centres that provide publicly accessible yet privately owned
shopping centres at the core of their civic urban space. This thesis is
interested in the private role within the public realm, specifically on how
Croydon’s town centre has and will embrace the private sector following the
approval of the Westfield redevelopment plan. This subject is contested in
nature and it has now become of global interest. This study locates itself
within the complex debate without taking a specific position. However, its
purpose is to create a safe, rightful, sustainable and environmentally forward
looking civic space, independently of who owns and manages these structures.
