A noticeable rise of renovation on the existing retail space was also observed in China’s major cities. In 2019,The Ministry of Commerce proposed a pilot program of renovation and improvement on 11 pedestrian streets across the country. Local government in Beijing proposed a scheme of upgrading 22 retail places (i.e. retail clusters) in the coming three years... According to the latest statistics from Geolytix, a minimum of 12 shopping malls/department stores in Beijing had gone through a large-scale upgrading or redevelopment in 2019; and in Shanghai at least 14 malls saw significant renovation in the past year.
Retail landscape in China is being reshaped much more rapidly than any other countries in the world. In the meantime, the integration of online and offline channels is also becoming a vital part in retailing and marketing. The epidemic in early 2020 has further fueled the explosion of “online lifestyles" in China, and the discussion has also attracted attention of every retailer and mall operator: How to balance/integrate the investment of online and offline in a longer term?

过去这个月，我们集结了团队经验智慧与大量数据，希望通过回顾历史、分析当下，预判未来并提出建议。我们重点聚焦分析了三个问题：
- 在线上线下齐发展的背景下，哪些“新生/崛起力量”在抢夺线下优质商业空间？
- 中国大陆零售空间格局在发生怎样的变化？
- “全渠道”零售时代，优化整合各类“平台、触点”的要领何在？
