The development has been longer. Shopping is no more need to come into the city. On the Internet there is everything, what there is to buy it in the stores, in the best case, even cheaper.
The Corona-crisis with a temporary ban on the sale and durable mouth guard duty is just the accelerant. She meets Frankfurt harder than other cities. The exhibition visitors, Chinese tourists, the plunge already to business at the beginning of the hard-shell case and brand bags. And it is the employees of the high-rise buildings, the now work from home and also not so quickly in their offices, will return missing.

The main thing that customers come back for more in the city.
they do but only if you feel comfortable, and so it is not least apparent edge aspects such as a well-functioning wireless network, clean streets and a sense of security. For the city management of the city, which has not earned his name yet, would be to do it also in this respect there is still much to.
