Reduction of Customers

[A] Shopping Centres like Silverburn offer free parking away from congested CBD which takes

customers away from the CBD and the shops lose business [1]. They also provide a clean, pleasant

and sheltered shopping environment and are accessible to a large % of the population [1].

[B] Some shops in the CBD may be forced to close, especially on the edge of the main shopping area, as there are fewer people in these areas making

money [2]. Empty shops are unattractive and prone to graffiti. This makes the area look run down [2]. There is however reduced traffic congestion in the

CBD [1].

Bringing Back Customers

[A] Shopping in the CBD has been modernised to bring customers back into the centre.

[B] Buchanan Street has been pedestrianised leading to a safer shopping environment [1].

Improvements have been made to St. Enoch Centre and there are future improvements to Buchanan Galleries [1]. In addition new shopping areas and

restaurants such as Forever 21 have been built [1].
