      Most countries except for the US still have them afaik

      Here in Germany they are in every city and very successful

      I think the problem is that the US malls are in the middle of nowhere and you need to take your car there and spend a lot of time there.

      Here they integrated as part of the inner city and flourishing and you can just walk to the old town or other things nearby

        They still exist in the USA as well. They just aren’t popular.

          Guess that depends on where? Where I live there’s a mall on like every damn town, and there are two within like 10min from my house.

            I meant not popular as in they don’t have as much foot traffic as they did a few decades ago. Many exist, but the number of malls that don’t feel “dead” is pretty low in my experience.
