Notes
1 According to the Harvard Project on the City and the International Council of Shopping Centers, the UK had 10 square feet of retail space per capita in 2000 – but, according to ICSC and the Urban Land Institute, that amount is growing.
2 In Virginia, for example, the state adds a 4.5 per cent retail sales tax onto the purchase price of most goods and services other than food and prescription medications, with 3.5 per cent accruing to the state and 1 per cent to the community.
