520 _aExplains how GIS technology enables our understanding of town centres to move beyond their boundaries towards a true sense of place. GIS has helped major retailers plan out of town supermalls such as Bluewater and provided insights into their impacts on the urban economy. Gives an overview of post-war retail development up to PPG6, which succeeded in protecting town centre retail activity from the adverse effects of out of town development - the doughnut effect. Describes the ODPM's town centre programme undertaken to collect statistics on town centres and the wider retail economy, where GIS modelling was used rather than undertaking a new census. GIS is shifting from defining town centres to helping describe them.
