A new shopping mall - the Carrefour mall - had just opened its doors. I was kindly allowed to take pictures all over the place. By now I have visited such malls in Ankara, Bursa, Izmir, Istanbul and I find them facinating and their design often interesting and creative. However, an article in the Turkish Daily News drew attention to another side of these malls: outcompeting small shop owners. See at http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=90031
