This was done to some of the older shopping arcades of the city centres, but these housed only small speciality shops, Gruen's shopping malls were on a much grander.Access to the whole shopping mall was gained by using the main doors, which the shopping ' streets ' from the parking outside. As there was no need to out of bad weather, the shops no longer needed windows and doors, and people could wander from shop to shop.
