nance costs, and a pizza pie of ownership
slices have made these defects glaring.
It is past time to examine how distribution
of malls-and other retail development such
as grocery stores-has exacerbated inequity.
Inner-ring suburban malls are among the
most blighted. They mirror the segmented
and uneven prosperity of their host cities,
especially as immigrant and minority families
have formed communities in the wake of
departing White families. The resulting communities lack sufficient retail resources to
fully serve the remaining residents.
By design, few of these centers were
intended to serve constituencies other than
relatively wealthy Whites. Most of these
malls lacked access to mass transit, limiting access for potential inner-city shoppers. And rarely did they have community
services on site. They were designed predominantly by White men predominantly
for White women to consume disposable
goods with their disposable incomes.
Following White flight, these malls suffered from this lack of mass transit and
insufficient community amenities-a state
that has persisted since the 1960s. These
factors and others, including the rise of
e-commerce and the COVID-19 pandemic,
led to the fall of malls.

MICROECONOMICS
And yet, for the multicultural communities inheriting these developments in their
neighborhoods, there is an upside to this
decline.
Serendipitously, inner-ring suburban
malls have helped shape some of America's most racially and economically diverse
neighborhoods. These mall neighborhoods, once redeveloped, hold the promise of homeownership, small-business
generation, decent public education, and
easy access to infrastructure. They may
represent the greatest opportunity for
integrated, diverse, and equitable communities since the failure of " 40 acres and a
