The importance of particular types of infrastructure of consumption space in each of the analyzed municipalities is different, due to the historical conditions and policies and actions of municipal authorities, investors, and increasingly active residents. Until the advent of modern shopping malls into town centers, markets and shopping streets were very important for consumption in towns. The presence of modern shopping malls contributes to the weakening of the commercial and social significance of the other two types of urban infrastructure of consumption space. In order to prevent those negative trends local authorities invest in revital‑ ization, changing traffic patterns and public festivities.
