I largely agree with, but I think lifestyles can learn to change.
On a purely physical level, design tweaks to consolidate and extend the canopies here and there would draw in more people to cafés, to shop, even to hang out (esp in winter) ...


An an example, Seattle seems to be a city with a large public presentation of music. (or am I wrong) If they could bring something like that to the malls, it might work as an attraction.

And don't say it can't be done here.
I remember years back at the main HSBC building in BC where a chamber quartet played, as people drank their coffee and tea ..... something seemed "right" about that
