| Abstract | The provision of retail facilities in new towns provides special opportunities and challenges for city planners. The Master Plan for the new Industrial City of Jubail in Saudi Arabia proposes a heirarchy of shopping centres which is one of the key elements in the community structure. The pattern of retail facilities planned for the new city is a radical departure from that which has evolved in traditional Saudi cities, in an attempt to overcome the maoy difficulties associated with traditional shopping centres. |
