From that time, all types of shopping centres were built, starting from the very basic first generation and developing into the most current formats. In the article, types of shopping centres are compared to their western origins. Planning laws and procedures that apply to the processes are also described, with an example of a law that was introduced to specifically control growth of shopping centres. Apart from that current trends and growth possibilities in the present market situation are discussed. As a result, a very rapid development process was observed, with little hampering from the planning policies. This may be used as a point of reference for other countries that have not yet encountered that process.展开更多
