Season 4, Episode 29
Empty shops, deserted pedestrian zones, online retail on the rise - retail in German city centres is under pressure. But how did this come about? And what ideas are there for shaping change instead of just watching it happen?
In this episode, find out why more and more people are ordering online, what consequences this has for our cities - and how new concepts from pop-up stores to experience neighbourhoods could give bricks-and-mortar retail a future.
