The planning and modelling of a shopping mall involve an integrated approach combining architecture, structural design, and consumer behaviour analysis. Key aspects include site selection, accessibility, spatial organization, and efficient circulation patterns to ensure smooth movement and enhanced user experience. Proper zoning of retail areas, food courts, entertainment spaces, and service facilities enables optimal space utilization. The use of 2D and 3D modelling tools supports layout visualization, crowd flow simulation, and safety planning. Sustainability is achieved through energy-efficient systems, natural lighting, ventilation, and waste management. Additionally, economic feasibility and market analysis ensure the project’s viability and profitability. The outcome of this study demonstrates how effective planning and modelling contribute to the successful development of a shopping mall that meets both consumer demands and business objectives while adhering to modern design and environmental standards.

This study proposes an integrated approach to shopping mall design that combines efficient space planning, sustainability, and modern technology. The model improves user experience, commercial performance, and environmental impact, while incorporating smart systems for better safety and operations. Future developments can enhance adaptability through IoT, real-time data, and smart parking solutions.
