An analysis of the pedestrian malls built during the urban renewal period of the 60's and 70's, and of new urban open space designs. Explores the trend towards, and away from, full pedestrian malls, and analyzes newer project types, such as festival marketplaces and mixed-use urban spaces. Describes mall development processes such as feasibility analysis, planning and design. Also covers street furnishings ranging from paving, fountains and sculpture to lighting, canopies and seating. Offers updated coverage of new projects in New York, Tampa, Memphis, Louisville and Minneapolis. Also features over 250 photographs as well as detailed site plans of the projects covered.

Once a fad that spread through cities across the United States, the pedestrian mall is now the subject of fervent criticism. In the eyes of planners, hundreds of forsaken malls overshadow the handfullof throwing ones, which are therefore seen as exceptions to an otherwise flawed concept. However, the deneraliztion is grossly unfair. As enthusiasm for pedestrian malls increased in cities, many planners ignored underlying demographic and socioeconomic conditions, instead fashioning malls in places that were unsupportive of urban retail. Predictably, many malls failed as a result. This paper uses biserial correlation coefficients and a binary logistic regression model to draw parallels between cities with pedestrian malls and identify place-based factors that impacted their performance, later analyzing the evolution of those same factors to determine whether or not pedestrian malls are likely to succeed in the future despite failing in the past.

Newark's central business district has been suffering steady economic decline for at least a decade. In an attempt to halt this trend, and perhaps even reverse it, a feasibility study has been conducted toward the goal of implementing a pedestrian mall in the area. This study was accomplished by conducting both field examinations of Halsey Street, the area under consideration, and investigating data from other existing United States pedestrian malls. The results of this study show that it is feasible to construct a permanent pedestrian mall on Halsey Street and that the benefits of doing so far outweigh the costs of the project.
