The paper analyzes the proximity in relation to the new meanings assumed by the concept in retail geography. The most recent phenomena of post-hierarchical organization of the urban spaces and the development of e-commerce lead to consider, in addition to the geographical, a multiplicity of dimensions of proximity. Multiplicity becomes significant especially considering the commerce-city relationship through the interpretative key of consumption. Analysing in a critical perspective the retail-led policies of urban regeneration, the contribution highlights the use of geographical proximity as a new imperative for the commerce of the city-centre, in a lack of tools and practices more closely tied to the new demands of spatial and temporal proximity expressed by the consumers.

Abstract

The paper analyzes the proximity in relation to the new meanings assumed by the concept in retail geography. The most recent phenomena of post-hierarchical organization of the urban spaces and the development of e-commerce lead to consider, in addition to the geographical, a multiplicity of dimensions of proximity. Multiplicity becomes significant especially considering the commerce-city relationship through the interpretative key of consumption. Analysing in a critical perspective the retail-led policies of urban regeneration, the contribution highlights the use of geographical proximity as a new imperative for the commerce of the city-centre, in a lack of tools and practices more closely tied to the new demands of spatial and temporal proximity expressed by the consumers.
