The appearance of the shopping center within the city area has generated many questions. May the shopping center become competitive to the idea of the city? Or, as the form born in the culturally alien American tradition, can it threaten the European city ideal? One of the basic threats caused by the typical shopping center is the gradual weakening of the function of existing centers and the spread of public spaces within the city. Higher potential, not without the threats, brings the shopping center inserted in the dense inner-city development. The danger of this type is its excessive introvertiveness - the center overbuilds an attractive interior, as a result surrounding streets die. The final effect depends on many factors, one of them is the level of the absorption of the new complex by the existing city tissue, the other one seems to be the efficiency in overcoming the excessive accumulation of traffic in the area. To receive the healthy public space requires in this particular case to reinforce connections with existing services, pedestrian nets and also with individual and common transportation systems. The appraisal of new shopping centers is accompanied by strong revaluations in the social zone. Distressing changes touching the social space of the city seem to have as important value as deformations in the physical space. We observe an increase of consumption models. Commercial spaces belong to contemporary non-places [Auge], architecturally valued often as junkspaces [Koolhaas]. Declines the idea of the culture connected to the time and space. All the above creates a necessity of having public spaces, which are generated from inside, at the places of their meaning and identity. The shopping center imitation of the city has become city's ironical caricature. Phenomenon of the shopping center attractiveness at the parallel separation from the city space brings the reasonable anxiety. We are presently facing the gradual change of the social models conditioned here by architectural and urban activities.
