Abstract
The problem of the shopping mall continues to remain a growing dilemma within the suburban communities. Since the inception of the mall, the lack of civic and public functions has left the mall disconnected and estranged from the community. Now with the social-economical changes associated with e-commerce and the change in how people experience shopping, these anachronisms of the past are being abandoned and left to decay within the suburb in which they reside. Now the next generation has begun to mimic the trends of generations gone before and are migrating to the suburbs in anticipation of the quintessential suburban family life. The obligation of dealing with failing malls and retail spaces can become an opportunity to redefine how these archaic and devoid spaces can benefit the suburban communities. This thesis demonstrates an example of how these vacant and dying structures can be re-developed to become a positive influence within the suburban community’s urban fabric through a specific case-study of the Indian Mound Mall in Heath, Ohio.
