It is the first community shopping mall with an open-air plaza in Shanghai. Rooted in western Shanghai for 18 years It reflects the commercial development of the city It also carries generations of Changning people ... During its 18 years of operation, Bailian Xijiao Shopping Center has made partial adjustments to its brand and business formats every year. However, with the rapid upgrading of consumption, consumers pay more and more attention to the consumption experience and the playability of shopping malls. Local renovations can no longer meet the need for brand iterations and updates. Inconvenient paths for pedestrian flow and aging infrastructure also limit the development of malls. That's why in the end closed malls wound up being the winning format. Store formats are also updated.")
