Item A "West Park shopping mall": shopping centers studied(Texas Tech University, 1973-12) Ruiz, VictorNot availableItem Achieving transit value capture in the suburbs : the redevelopment of greyfield shopping malls(2006-05) Wilke, Julie Ann; Zhang, Ming, 1963 April 22-In recent years, a renewed interest has blossomed in rail travel and rail investment. However, federal funding constraints for new transit projects threaten the feasibility of urban rail network construction and expansion. In response, the public sector has begun to consider alternative financial mechanisms including value capture. As new construction expands transit’s reach into the suburbs, another phenomenon is facing these communities – the death of the suburban shopping mall. This report examines these two issues: constraints in transit funding and the proliferation of greyfield shopping malls. Addressing both issues, the argument is made that greyfield shopping malls serve as excellent locations to implement transit value capture strategies by converting the malls into suburban transit-oriented developments (TODs).Item Lubbock east development: Lubbock, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1975-05) Adams, RobertDue to the general lack of development of the eastern sector of lubbock, Texas, the true nature of this thesis project will be to work in co-ordination with the members of the East Lubbock Business Association, the citizens of East Lubbock, the City Planning Department of Lubbock, and faculty members of the School of Architecture at Texas Tech University, in order to develop a true proposal of what the development of this area should be.Item Mall shoppping habits and preferences of retail consumers in West Texas(Texas Tech University, 1995-05) Matthews, Curtis BlaineSlogans from the past decade such as "when the gouig gets tough - the tough go shopping" and "shop till you drop" accurately portray the typical American consumer. But where does this shopping take placed Shopping maUs accounted for over half of this country's retaU sales in 1988 at $584 biUion (Stoffel, 1988). Malls have undergone widespread changes during the past 30 years, but one thing is certain, they play an important role in the social and economic lifestyles of today. In 1988, at the end of the 1980s buildmg boom, Stoffel wrote a New York Times article that noted the number of shoppuig centers in the U.S. had surpassed the number of secondary schools and post offices. At that time, Stoffel noted these shopping centers numbered 30,600. In 1993, the Wall Street Journal indicated the number had grown to approximately 38,000 shopping centers (Trachtenburg, 1993). In a Gallup poll conducted for the Intemational Council for Shopping Centers (ICSC), maUs ranked behind only churches and hospitals as the most respected institutions in the country (Laing, 1992). With these statistics in mind, it is no wonder malls are just as likely to receive an icon on a city map as a school, hospital or town haU.
