Over the years shopping centres have developed from a place that had a gathering of retail outlets to what can be seen as venues or in some cases that can even be considered entertainment parks. Today you can go to a shopping centre and get anything or do anything you want. They have become a place where people go to socialize, to eat, to conduct business meetings and much more. As a result of this some are so large that they take more than a day to see in their entirety. We thought it would be interesting to compile a list of the top 10 largest shopping centres (based on leasable floor space) from around the world.
