Abstract

This research assesses the business composition and morphological characteristics of four mature cores in suburban developments following the principles of New Urbanism. All contain a few stores offering basic convenience goods but lack a full array of retail options. Professional services fill many of the spaces, especially healthcare and finance. Census data indicate that local populations are insufficient to support much retail activity if customers are expected to come from the surrounding residential neighbourhoods. The results demonstrate the need to better integrate commercial cores with the surrounding urban fabric and to consider contemporary retail conditions when planning New Urbanist developments.
