26 分钟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?
