The rise of the finance and the global commercializationcreated a need to expand in larger areas with different situations that brought the creation of centre – off center, cutting off the social and cultural activities from the finance and combing them with entertainment. Through the years we came across several types of shopping areas. New types of cities centers are rising as a part of the city but also as unique independent spaces. The public and private spaces are becoming one in order to assist the corporate wealth. The Mall Athens, the first of the mall in the Greek area, and a series of others brought a new breeze in the city of Athens. The Shopping Malls not only compete the public space but in many cases they took over entirely, operating under the infrastructure works that took place in Athens for the Olympic Games of 2004.
