Abstract: The dominant image of the suburb as a primarily residential phenomenon and of the suburban town centre as a primarily retail-based phenomenon has not been displaced despite the recent upsurge of scholarly interest in suburbia. This article attempts to make a two-pronged refutation of both these assumptions, demonstrating how urban form and spatial configuration support a mixed use synergy between retail and all other non-residential activities in the sub-urban context. The article maintains that the complex interrelationship between movement, spatial network and land use forms a vital contribution to sustaining the future of urban settlements.
