Abstract

As an urban feature the market hall and the market square has a particular role in the fabric of the city. It is the open space, and often forms the very heart of a neighborhood. Originally it was a multi-purpose space used for gatherings, festivals, religious and sporting events. These spaces were also often used for selling products, goods that were more freely sold in the open air from temporary stalls, rather than shop-based items. Last years – specially in the city – the type of closed malls has obviously appeared due to the change of life and shopping style from only purchase to having entertainment inside a weather protected place. No doubt that this type of malls contains many advantages for the commercial process; however, it lost many of the open mall's advantages. Now the question liesin: what the advantages, disadvantages and benefits of both types are? , weather we can reach the fittest result in case of combining both types in the general case or specially in our society by means of suitable & available encouraging factors.
