THANK YOU FOR LISTENING…
How can the negative environmental problems associated with malls
be minimized?
They could add “no smoking zone” signs in many areas and have
one place set aside for all the smoking. Also for the crime rates they
can add more security than they have right now.
What functions
does this mall play
in this community?
It is more than a
mall, it’s a living
facility. There are
lofts and a
grocery store as
well as the
upscale stores and
restaurants.
What environmental problems did you
see that we4re associated with the mall
(e.g., water
runoff, aesthetics, wildlife, loss of
habitat, traffic)?
Loss of habitat because there was little
to no animals
