The centre of the future

A store and a warehouse under one roof? You might come across such a combination in the latest shopping centres. According to Joanna Fisher, the managing director for centre management, and Monika Pyszkowska, the director of international centre management at ECE Projektmanagement, an up to date shopping centre also includes space for entertainment, relaxation and good food.
