FfFfFfFF 58,373 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 “Build it and they will come” is the logic behind an artificial hill which, come summer, will rise at the end of the UK’s most famous shopping thoroughfare, Oxford Street in London. The 25-metre Marble Arch Hill or “mound”, inspired by nearby Hyde Park, is a showstopper designed to pull people back to a shopping area that Westminster city council says has suffered as “much or more than any other high street in the country” during the pandemic. The temporary installation, which will nestle behind the famous Grade I-listed gateway, is a quick fix designed to undo some of the damage done by lockdowns that have emptied city and town centres around the country and sent online sales rocketing. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/mar/13/a-hill-to-climb-oxford-street-mound-aims-to-lure-back-shoppers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
