Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall

byAlexandra Lange

Since their birth in the 1950s, they have loomed large as temples of commerce, the agora of the suburbs. The research behind Meet Me by the Fountain draws together economic evidence, institutional analysis, and historical examples to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the inside history of the mall with debates in architecture and business & economics, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Meet Me by the Fountain gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
