“…It must be noted at the outset that although TCM is a potentially rich subject area for academic writing and research, very little of substance has actually been published or undertaken to date. This paucity is acknowledged by a number of other commentators (see Pal and Sanders, 1997;Medway et al, 1998;Warnaby et al, 1998).…”

“…It will also be concerned with identifying larger sources of funding for more ambitious projects. Some schemes remain at the janitorial level, and this may be appropriate depending on the responsibilities and ability of the local authority to take the strategic view (see ATCM with Donaldsons et al, 1994;Pal and Sanders, 1997;Medway et al, 1998). Warnaby et al (1998) have implied a further and subtler categorisation of schemes based on a conceptual framework in which types might be identified.…”

This paper arises out of an ongoing research and teaching interest in the emerging field of town centre management (TCM). Based on a review of recent publications and research in the area, it has been prompted by recognition that this is a much unexplored topic for study. The paper is in two parts. The first provides a background account of TCM in the UK, its history, structures and the current issues affecting its likely future development. The second part examines recent research in the topic and draws some conclusions regarding the changing focus of interest in this still relatively new area of practice and study. The paper concludes with a proposed agenda for more research and thinking in a field which has great potential, but that has not as yet received the attention it deserves.

“…Finally, some concluding remarks will be made. Although there is some research on this topic (Hogg et al 2001(Hogg et al , 2004Pal, Sanders 1997;Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis 2000, Ravenscroft 2000 there is a need to update it. Even though there is some background of private commissioned reports (see for example CocaStefaniak 2013;BIS 2010BIS , 2011 at some points this analysis has a descriptive nature because there is still a lack of recent scientific discussion on the use of indicators in retail planning, gap that this article tries to overcome and constitutes, at same time, part of the novelty of this article and the reason why this research may be of interest for researchers, urban planners and practitioners.…”

Abstract.Retail planning gained importance with the introduction of innovation in that sector, which challenged the vitality and viability of town centres. With this evolution and the arise of Town Centre First in England, the retail planning key documents started to incorporate indicators to help and standardize the monitoring of the health of town centres. This article aims to analyse the process of evaluation and verify the evolution of indicators suggested in the several public documents that constitute retail planning in England since 1993. It was based on the review of the main documents established in England since 1993. The research developed in this paper helps to update some information and is valuable for urban planners, practitioners and academics. In this paper we conclude that indicators are been used but without been framed in an evaluation framework and the variability of suggested indicators may have limited the analysis of the temporal evolution of town centres. In terms of research implications this paper helps to, in part, path the way for future research in this field.

“…Governments at different levels have sought to introduce measures that will offset the consequences, not only for the retail sector, but also in terms of the wider implications of a loss of appeal, vitality and profitability of the towns themselves (Schiller, 1994;Timmermans et al 1992). Municipal governments, for example, are working to promote and develop traditional retail trade, encouraging in-town shopping as part of a joint offer of culture, leisure and entertainment (Pal and Sanders, 1997;Warnaby, Bennison, Davies and Hughes, 2004;Warnaby and Davies, 1997;Zorrilla and Elizagárate, 2004), and in short, to minimise the delocalisation of the retail trade (Note 1).…”

The Moderating Effects of City Districts’ Retail Attractiveness on the in-Town versus out-of-Town Shopping Decision

The retail sector plays a strategic part in urban regeneration. In this sense, municipal officials need to implement plans and encourage measures that will offset the relative loss of commercial appeal to out-of-town retail zones. To achieve this, it is important that they understand how shoppers choose between two possible locations. Using logistic regression functions, this work analyses to what extent a set of four judgemental indicators in a city's different districts, forming its retail attractiveness, exerts a compensating effect by reducing the outcome of out-of-town shopping. Results confirm that retail attractiveness of districts, in interaction both with the entropy of shopping formats within the city, and with the size of the shopping basket, exerts an inhibiting effect to shopping acts in out-of-town retail areas. The study ends with recommendations for town centre managers, public authorities and private bodies towards reverting the reducing affluence of shopping acts in city centres.
