Has months of economic meltdown put a stop to new shopping centres opening?

Even up until last summer, shopping centre development was strong. A wave of centres had opened during the year and yet more were due to launch before Christmas. But the months of economic meltdown that followed put a stop to all that, and the ladder the industry had been standing on was swiftly kicked away.
