Plans for a Downtown St. Albans Wal-Mart
The illustrations at the right were developed in response to a proposal for a 150,000 sq. ft. Wal-Mart in a cornfield on the outskirts of St. Albans, Vermont. Based on recent reports that Wal-Mart has altered its basic store model to accommodate European cities and select American urban areas, the following simulations illustrate how an appropriately scaled Wal-Mart in a downtown location can not only fit in with the downtown landscape, but actually enhance it.
