          • Analysing the impact of the Trafford Centre on local retail provision and the characteristics of nearby places
            • The Trafford Centre is a large regional retail shopping complex
            • It is easily accessed by a relatively new motorway and has a large catchment area
            • Since it has opened there has been increased competition for nearby shopping centres which are thought to have largerly shrunk although some are thriving by reconfiguring as grocery/convenience and to support the local community and less mobile populations
            • There are lots of impacts to local residents and business and this project is to explore some of this with reference to changing retail function
            • Some impacts may have positive and negative aspects
            • This dissertation is aiming to produce a geographical map of the current and historical retail provision in the Trafford region focussing on the changes of nearby local centres
        • Cluster Nomination Form Idea
          • How has the construction of the Trafford Centre changed local retail structures?
