PATH DEPENDENT AND RISK AVERSE: IS RETAIL PLANNING INHIBITED BY A CULTURE OF FEAR? Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by: Mark Davies Department of Geography and Planning School of Environmental Sciences University of Liverpool October 2019 i Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template ii Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template DECLARATION This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done by, or in collaboration with others, except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or completely, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: ______________________________________________________________ Date: _________________________________________________________________ iii Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template iv Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template ABSTRACT As new digital technology fundamentally changes the way people shop, retail firms are increasingly seeking to optimise their store portfolios so that they effectively support the provision of an omni-channel retail offer, which is leading to the decline of many traditional retail spaces. This thesis seeks to explore this issue, by considering why, in the face of such profound structural changes in retailing, the prevailing response of planners has been to reemphasise support for „town-centre-first‟, despite the fact that such an approach appears fundamentally misaligned with the issues that are driving decline today. Utilising a mixed methods approach, involving a detailed historical analysis of the evolution of retail planning in England and in-depth interviews with planners, this thesis seeks to understand why it is that town-centre-first continues to pervade as a strategic approach in retail planning. -
