In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along
the two
sides. These commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping
centres in modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.

Shopping centres have developed rapid l y because of the shift of the population to the
suburbs, the growing use of and dependence upon the automobiles and the heavy traffic in
downtown areas. A shopping centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall
which may be covered, heated and air- conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a
parking area with space for thousands of cars.
We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a
supermarket where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services
besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes tested, clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a
world tour and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centres are therefore, very convenient for
the customers, but they lack "the sense of closeness" as felt in older commercial centres.
