Following up on yesterday's discussion of downtowns, St. Louis thinks it can revitalize itself with an urban mall near its downtown ballpark. We'll be watching.

Elsewhere, the Times of London reports on the revival of the downtown mall in Britain and on the continent. John King at the San Francisco Chronicle considers the Westfield and selling the urban mall. (Favorite quote: a veep of design at San Fran's new mega mall explaining that "We wanted an experience that reflects the complexity of the city… We wanted to reflect that this is not just a machine for selling.") Salt Lake City seeks to create the mall as hub, not island.
