The digitalisation of stationery retail and its urban effects

  • In the study of planning, the causal links between technological developments and the transformation of spatial and urban structures are of high social relevance. They have been increasingly examined since the late-twentieth century. However, scant attention has been paid to spatial interactions resulting from the digitalisation of all areas of life and work as well as the continuing advance of information and communication technologies. In short, there is a lack of verified studies and results regarding the effects of digitalisation on urban space. The urban function of retail can be used as an example to illustrate spatial changes promoted by technological developments, for two distribution channels that are moulded by digitalisation and are spatially relevant – physical retail and the growing field of e-commerce – are increasingly being intertwined.

This paper presents the initial findings of an exploratory study into the spatial distribution patterns of selected developments in physical retail that are significantly influenced by digitalisation. Using a multi-stage methodology, more than 800 articles from online news portals pertaining to the year 2018 were analysed, categorised and evaluated with respect to spatial relevance, potential for spatial influence and the impact of digitalisation.show moreshow less
