The European Council of Shopping Places provides a European voice for an industry that designs, creates, funds, develops, builds and manages places anchored by retail across Europe.

Their members are a catalyst for sustainable urban regeneration and represent an important civic function in virtually every European community.

In recognizing the fundamental role of its members, ECSP aims to:

• Advocate at a European level for the vital economic and social importance of retail and mixed-use destinations
• Bring together the entire value chain of who invest in, create, manage and support these places and destinations
• Facilitate the outreach, exchange of information and organise the events, networking and education this community needs to succeed
• Encourage a sustainable and a level playing field for market participants and stakeholders
