It's amazing that the Philippines a supposedly poor third world country has 3 malls in the top ten and the US only has 1. Only China with 4 has more in the top ten. BTW the owner Henry Sy according to Forbes is worth 2.6 Billion the same as the Zobel de Ayala family.

In developed countries, shops (including high end signature brands) are along the streets. but in developing countries, these shops can only be found in malls. Notice that all the big malls are in developing countries.

I'd agree but we have malls in the US too. It's just that most are not as big as the ones in the Philippines.

Maybe it's in the number of people. Looking at Wikipedia, Metro Manila has an area of 636 sq km and a population of 11.3M. The density per sq km is 17.8K people

Compare that to say, Tucson AZ which has a city area of 505 sq km and a population of 516K. The density per sq km is 2.7K people.

That's the city itself. Outside the city spread out all over at an area maybe 4x-5x the size of Tucson itself are another 930k people.

At its most crowded, Tucson's population density is still much less than Manila's. I'm not sure if that's a criteria for mall-building. But, if I was building a mall, I'd consider it.

We have 2 major malls plus several smaller ones, one at the north, the other at the south, all within city limits. Most homeowners outside the city limits are against malls in their area because they tend to lower property value.

Wow ang galing naman ni Henry Sy.Ang dami pala ng mall sa China.

It's the opposite here. Malls are a welcome sight because they tend to increase the value of the area.

I guess people here tend to value privacy a lot more in expense of convenience.

Not after Dubai Mall, claimed to be the Largest Mall in the World when completed.



DUBAI MALL

LINK 2

At a world-beating nine million square foot shopping colossus, this will be the a site to behold. It will the equivelent of 50 international class soccer pitches. They are building it right next to the Burj Dubai with the anticipation of 35 million visitors in the first year alone. It will be much larger than the two largest current malls in Canada and the US. Plans include an aqurium, and theworlds largest gold market, along with parking for more than 16,000 cars underground and more in neighboring lots.

[TsikotBabe]

With stupidity increasing and self interest leading the charge I'm quite surpised the country hasn't made any more records.
