In response to these difficult times, the Government of Alberta has announced several 1.8% policies and initiatives to create jobs, an example is increased spending on infrastructure projects.

Edmonton retail vacancy is expected to continue to increase in the coming months as both Sources: Statistics Canada, Sitewise, Oxford Analytics international and local brands exit the market, some in large part the result of financial pressures caused by the pandemic.

Introduction – The Importance of Community Sustainability Retention and growth of existing businesses, new business attraction, jobs, investment, residential development and new commercial/industrial assessment – these are just some of the benefits to be realized through a well-focused economic and community development strategy. They are also essential, some would say critical, for the Town of Beaumont at this point in time. Long term community sustainability depends on the ability to maintain a healthy balance and harmony between economic, municipal fiscal/financial, social and environmental sustainability. While each is equally important, many would argue that economic sustainability is the ‘engine’ that ultimately drives and sustains a community. Building Blocks of a Sustainable Community 3 NICHOLS Applied Management Research has shown that ‘communities of choice’ are increasingly replacing ‘communities of necessity’ for many highly-skilled workers in the more suburban parts of North America. These individuals are increasingly looking to live in affordable, high quality of life communities – with excellent recreational amenities and clean, safe and family-oriented neighbourhoods – but they are also looking to minimize commuting times associated with travel to and from work. Beaumont’s well-developed social and community infrastructure, natural environment and close proximity to Alberta’s main urban centres all contribute to the Town’s overall quality of life.

  • Resilient Forms of Shopping Centers Amid the Rise of Online Retailing: Towards the Urban Experience
    sustainability Article Resilient Forms of Shopping Centers Amid the Rise of Online Retailing: Towards the Urban Experience Fujie Rao Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, Melbourne 3010, Australia; [email protected] Received: 13 June 2019; Accepted: 17 July 2019; Published: 24 July 2019 Abstract: The rapid expansion of online retailing has long raised the concern that shops and shopping centers (evolved or planned agglomerations of shops) may be abandoned and thus lead to a depletion of urbanity. Contesting this scenario, I employ the concept of ‘retail resilience’ to explore the ways in which different material forms of shopping may persist as online retailing proliferates. Through interviews with planning and development professionals in Edmonton (Canada), Melbourne (Australia), Portland (Oregon), and Wuhan (China); field/virtual observations in a wider range of cities; and a morphological analysis of key shopping centers, I find that brick-and-mortar retail space is not going away; rather, it is being increasingly developed into various shopping spaces geared toward the urban experience (a combination of density, mixed uses, and walkability) and may thus be adapted to online retailing. While not all emerging forms of shopping may persist, these diverse changes, experiments, and adaptations of shops and shopping centers can be considered a form of resilience. However, many emerging shopping centers pose a threat to urban public life. Keywords: retail resilience; online retailing; shopping center; urban experience; urbanity 1. Introduction Shopping has been at the heart of urbanity since the earliest cities developed as sites of exchange. One sees and touches the product, perhaps smells and tastes it, bargains with the trader and experiences the larger social, political and cultural life that comes with traditional marketplaces.
