Unit Description

The unit aims to allow the student to appreciate the current retail environment in Australia and overseas, particularly the role of supermarket chains and property developers influencing trading hours and landuse patterns in their 'store wars' campaigns. It is divided into three modules covering retail geography, time and landuse planning, international perspectives and retail impact assessment. This unit allows for the student to study issues that interest them, such as retail design, alternative retail ideologies, disadvantaged consumers or the power of retail corporations.
