During the development of my case study I have learned that the construction of shopping centres features more aspects than the ecological one I have been anxious about. Architects are concerned about the design, small traders feel discriminated, citizens complain about traffic congestions…


The most worrying matter however is the lack of effective communication in the process preceding the construction itself. Starting from insufficient cooperation between administrative organs through to the absence of specialist (architects, environmentalists) tuition and ending by limited possibilities of participation of citizens.

Starting with insufficient cooperation between administrative organs through to the absence of specialist tuition(architects, environmentalists) and ending with limited options for participation by residents.A research question therefore is: Are the laws concerning the decision making process process respected in the Czech Republic?  Do numerous shopping centres present the desirable way of development for the majority of people or is it only that the pressures of investors are stronger in the questions of land use? Do we apply enough control mechanisms to prevent corruption and ensure equal possibilities for the involvement of all affected parties?
