Houston – for better or worse – is known for its strip malls. We have a lot of them. Strip malls aren't the most attractive storefronts for businesses, but there are some bright spots to what many may consider eyesores.

And we ask: if you were put in charge of designing a strip mall from scratch – or using the space of a strip mall for whatever you wanted, what would you do? In short, we consider how to build a better strip mall.
