Whats wrong with the town centre concept?

Or main street or high street or whatever you want to call it.

A new neighbourhood goes in and it gets a strip mall. Or something gets redeveloped into a strip mall.

Why not build a downtown or town centre or whatever instead? It would look more pleasing I think. Have some character. Let it happen "organically" even and let it grow even more character.

I'd rather shop in a place like that then a strip mall where I park my car and see all the same stores that the mall in the next neighbourhood over has.

I suppose it comes down to parking doesn't it.
