Retail planner and consultant Bob Gibbs, Terry Shook, an expert in retail design and main street development, and Seaside town center developer, Daryl Davis, will present a one-of-a-kind workshop on retail principles for mixed use town centers January 9-10, 2015.

Their combined years of experience in the field of planning and development of both new town retail and the revitalization of urban centers is unparalleled in the industry.

This program, hosted by the Seaside Institute, will demonstrate how proven principles of retail development can be combined with the best practices of New Urbanism, Smart Growth and architectural design to create successful and competitive mixed-use urban commercial centers.

Ideal for developers, planners, retailers, architects, and public officials, the presentation will focus on several topics, among them the required market demographics for various retailers, restaurants, and shopping centers including convenience centers, neighborhood centers, power centers, regional malls, and lifestyle centers.

Tuition is $500 and includes Gibbs’ book, Principles of Urban Retail: Planning and Development. Check out the tuition and special accommodation rates available at the Seaside Academic Village.
