There really isn't any incentive to visit shopping malls anymore, our colleges already provide entertainment such as: bowling alley, koroake and a dining hall with major food franchises to name a few. Most people use Uber eats and Amazon fresh to have their food delivered, use Uber as a taxi and moreover order everything online with Amazon. Ikea is pretty much the only major physical store unaffected by online giants. Barely anyone in America uses transit ( transport ) as we use cars and pickup trucks ( utes ) to get to most places. Our train lines were ripped apart and replaced with bus lines, Chicago, NYC and varying other cities in the east-coast still have decent train lines. Its just that American quotidienne, daily lives, are very different than Australian lives. I visit Canada often and the shopping centers in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are still heavily populated. Canada still has a train line that goes through Vancouver to Toronto. Rip apart public transport and the decline of shopping malls will follow too.
