For malls, demolish one of two of the anchor stores and use the footprint to build some 5 over 1 or 7 over 2 apartments. Build pedestrian streets out into an out of the way part of the parking lot and full that area with townhomes. Given the size of the anchor's footprint, you may need to install a small elevated park for residents. If there is mass transit nearby, have a free shuttle run to the stop. The hope is to get a development large enough for a grocery store.
Use the mall to anchor a BRT corridor, making a stroad leading up to the mall more transit friendly. Focus on smaller buses at first with small headways to get people to use the busses. Have at least three or four sites where you can level dying strip malls and replace them with dense housing.
5 over 1, 7 over 2? What does that mean?
Floors of housing over floors of commercial.
So like, the bottom floor is a grocery store. Floors 2 through 5 is housing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-over-1
Five wooden floors over one masonry, concrete, or steel floor. They are the cheapest easy to build apartment houses currently in North America.
