                2. Cons
                  1. Causes the closure of high street shops so unemployment increases- cycle of deprivation
                    1. 37% of shops in Altrincham are vacant
                      1. More air and noise pollution in the motorway due to more visitors

                    1. Attraction of out-of-town retail centres

                  2. Impacts of decline
                    1. More shops close ao lower footfall and less profits fro shops
                      1. Derelict buildings may be vandalised so customers feel less safe and shop elsewhere
                        1. Less jobs creates social decline
                    2. Sheffield Case Study
                      1. Problems
                        1. The out-of-town Meadowhall retail centre caused several shops to close down in the CBD which attracted many vandals
                        2. Solutions
                          1. 100 new shops with a covered roof were built
                            1. 200 modern, safe residential areas were created

                          2. Other regeneration methods
                            1. Pedestrianised zones
                              1. Having special market days such as a Christmas market
                                1. Improve security via CCTV

                          1. How tech is changing retail
                            1. Reduces the footfall in shops as fewer people are physically shopping
                              1. Increases online shopping
                                1. More delivered goods
                                  1. Smaller shops in the CBD have closed down
                                    1. Increased transport efficiency contributes to globalisation due to world shipping
                                      1. People who sell their goods online don't have to pay for rent or electricity
                                        1. Online shopping is more convenient as people in rural areas can easily access goods across the world
                            2. Impacts of Amazon
                              1. Positives
                                1. Creates lots of jobs- 55,000 people in the UK work for Amazon
                                  1. Customers can buy a large range of products at a cheaper price
                                    1. 3rd party sellers can sell their goods on Amazon, helping businesses
                                2. Negatives
                                  1. They put other smaller businesses selling goods at a higher price out of customers
                                    1. Independent sellers only get 35% of the profit of their goods
                                      1. More deliveries increases air pollution
                              2. Case Study- 2015 Rugby World Cup
                                1. Impacts

                                        1. Increased congestion in CBD due to more transport used- reduces safety for pedestrians
