Urban Fabric Information

We are deep believers in street retail as a key component of healthy and dynamic urban centers, contributing to the community’s vitality, optimism and sense of belonging. Advances in logistics and technology have made online shopping increasingly quick, safe and convenient, putting pressure on traditional street retail formats. In order to remain competitive, street retail will have to offer its customers a non-digital experience focused on aesthetics, human connection and enjoyment; it will be less transactional and more lifestyle-oriented, blending culture, education, social hubs, gastronomy, fashion, recreation and work environments.
