Shopping Centers for Cutting Transportation Emissions

Many people use them, so why not make them more about community and more sustainable. I am talking about Shopping Malls. You get in your car, drive over, try to find a parking spot, get stressed out, and finally leave. What if malls were located on pedestrian streets that were easily accessible by bike, walking, and public transportation. Malls receive high traffic. By making them along pedestrian streets, you encourage the act of walking to them rather than driving to the mall. (If you look at maps, parking accounts for a vast portion of malls’ property.)
