Iran (Isfahan City Center and Persian Gulf Complex), Malaysia (1 Utama, Mid Valley Megamall and Sunway Pyramid), Thailand (Central World) and Turkey (Cehavir Mall) are also countries with gigantic trading spaces within the top 10.

Carlos Betancourt, president of the Colombian Association of Shopping Centers (Acecolombia), said that "the trend in these large areas, especially in China, are vertical infrastructures of 15 levels given their population density conditions and also are shopping centers that have linked their spaces to a massive transport system, such as the metro, a light rail or bus terminal. "

Carlos Valencia, an expert in shopping centers, explained that "the size of shopping centers apart from the capacity of consumption of the population, must also see that in these markets are all the most important brands of luxury to world level ".

Regional dynamics
These large formats are not foreign to Latin America. The Albrook Mall of Panama City (with 220,000 square meters, 470 stores and 400 kiosks) is the largest in the region. Parque D. Pedro, located in Campinas state of Sao Paulo, has a commercial area of ​​141,000 square meter. It is followed by Costanera in Santiago de Chile (132,000 square meters of built area), Santafé in Mexico City (128,367 square meters), Centro Mayor in Bogotá (109,000 square meters), Jockey Plaza in Lima (100,000 square meters) and Unicenter in Buenos Aires (895,204 square meters).


The latter is owned byCoscosud, opened in November 1988, being one of the first commercial centers to be established in the country and receives annually more than 30 million visits. Betancourt said that "the trend in Latin America is due to the fact that there are more department stores and a great variety of entertainment for the whole family that seeks to generate a long stay. One finds, for example, special areas such as restaurants on a tablecloth apart from the traditional food court. "
