“…• Whitehead et al [2006] have shown that overall -following a downturn of about two yearspedestrianisation has led to an average increase in visitors, sales revenue and rental prices for commercial space. But this increase is asymmetrical, benefitting large distribution chains mainly in the areas of clothing, restaurants/cafés and specialised shops [Mérenne-Schoumaker, 1981, 1983.…”
