In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centres or malls to do their shopping. Is this a positive or negative development?

Currently, the urban planning of big cities brings significant impacts on the landscapes of cities and the lifestyle of residents. Among these changes, small local

shops

are gradually replaced by large shopping malls. Personally, I would argue that more disadvantages are introduced than the advantages brought by closing small local

shops

. Several compelling reasons can be listed to argue the negative impacts on local people and city development by closing local
