Abstract

Modern movement new-towns, as the most radical form of state-led retail plan-ning, have failed to assure a lively retail offer able to create centrality as planned. Thorough the study case of a modern movement servicescape, the only modern Spanish planned city of Tres Cantos, our research focuses on what can we learn from the state-led planning model and its policies. How could we today foster urbanity in complex projects through retail without succumbing to the prevailing commodification of the public realm?
