I have just returned from Barcelona where I visited the famous Las Ramblas pedestrian mall. Great customer access from the Metro and buses with clusters of specialty retail, destination retail, hotels, a market and more.

Pedestrian Malls that work have always been on my agenda. Recently I visited Kartner Strasse in Vienna and I was very impressed. It rates up with Buchanan Street Mall in Glasgow in my opinion. Of course the key success features were all working very well.
