Beginning with the spatial analysis of the Prudential Mall, one can see the development of commerce in a unique geographic dimension. The first things you notice when entering this mall is the sheer magnitude and monumental size of both the stores…

The first striking difference between my map and an accurate one is the scale and spacing, especially between streets. I found that I drew relatively accurate depictions of areas I know well, and either exaggerated or reduced the distance between…

The two shopping areas are vastly different—the first, obvious difference is that Copley Place and the Prudential Center are indoor shopping malls, and Newbury Street is an outdoor street lined with individual shops. That being said, the traffic…
