Suggested Answers - CBD
The CBD is no longer at the top of the shopping hierarchy It has been superseded by regional shopping centres (e.g. Blagnac
&
Portet). Due to increased mobility (the result of increased car ownership) people can travel further to shops, visit shops with a wider range and volume of stock and buy in
bulk (Ikea). Slide6
Less Corner Shops
The number of corner shops have reduced. This is the result of greater mobility, the limited and often expensive range of convenience goods
available and due to more people being paid monthly they buy in bulk from supermarkets.
