  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • Hello, welcome to Roundtable,

  • where we serve up piping hot debates on the issues that sizzle in China and beyond.

  • I'm Liu Hong Lin.

  • In a world where urban spaces seem to be becoming more concrete and glass,

  • there's a new movement taking shape,

  • one that invites nature right into the heart of our shopping experiences.

  • Is this simply a luxury for a few cities?

  • Or is it a model that will define the shopping centers for tomorrow?

  • For this episode, I'm joined by Yu Shan and Steve Hatherley.

  • Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion.

  • What's the last time you hit the mall?

  • What if shopping could be more than just a transaction?

  • What if while browsing through the latest fashion or grabbing a coffee,

  • you could also be surrounded by the calming presence of nature?

  • In cities like Shenzhen,

  • this idea is becoming a reality where commercial spaces are blending seamlessly with green areas.

  • But can nature really enhance the shopping experience or is it just a novelty?

  • Is this the future of urban development or a passing trend?
