  abstract  = {Being transposed to China and absorbed by its urban space, the Western shopping centre undergoes a process of "Sinicisation", which turns it into a spatial hybrid: a Western retail format shaped by distinctive features of Chinese space production and space use. To a large extent, this study can be regarded as a marginal number of its kind which tries to scientifically understand the impact of a socially, culturally and economically absolutely different urban environment on the model (ideal type) of the Western shopping centre.},
