How Retail Is Driving the Evolution of Cities and Suburbs 

As cities and suburbs evolve, retail and other “play” concepts are playing an increasingly strategic role in shaping vibrant, economically resilient communities. Consumer migration patterns and shifting lifestyle preferences are driving demand for city-like amenities in suburban areas, while urban markets continue to recalibrate the balance of ‘live, work, and play’ to foster engagement and economic growth. This panel will explore how developers and tenants are adapting their strategies to meet these changing dynamics. 

Key topics include: 

• Insights from Cushman & Wakefield’s Reimagining Cities: Disrupting the Urban Doom Loop report, highlighting how optimizing the ”live, work, play” real estate mix enhances foot traffic, property values and economic growth for all stakeholders 
• How developers and tenants are transforming “live, work, play” dynamics in cities through brand differentiation and tenant curation, placemaking and collaboration with local officials 
• The evolving role of suburban retail, including tenant mix strategies, location selection criteria and navigating challenges in a competitive shopping center market

Activating Community Through Public-Private Projects

Public-private partnerships are the key to placemaking success. Vision, leadership and access to incentives and site control are often key elements contributed by the public sector, while creativity, private capital and experience in catalytic development are often brought by private developers. Having a placemaking action plan in place to then guide and activate the placemaking process is key. Come learn from cities, developers and their advisors who have moved through the placemaking planning and execution process to learn their best practices and what to avoid in order to achieve your place vision!
