Another reason the enclosed mall is fading is that it can only operate at a profit if it is fully occupied. Whether occupancy is 100% or 50%, the whole mall has to be heated or air-conditioned. New malls are being built, but they are open-plan, really just shopping districts with limited motor traffic.
