Trends + Tensions presented by BHDP

Andrew McQuilkin, Retail Market Leader and Declan McCormack Retail Client Leader at BHDP Architecture sit down to discuss the evolution of retail. Despite predictions of an impending retail apocalypse, Andrew and Declan discuss the history of retail trends and how stores are not dying, they are opening differently with the new challenges retailers are facing with the internet as a shopping platform and millennials moving from the suburbs back to the city.  With tensions arising between shoppers and retailers with the conflict in shopper demands and retail locations, stores need to find ways to keep shoppers engaged despite the convenience of online shopping.
