This project examines international investments in the retail sector and its impact on urbanization. It will provide insight into how and why global retail capital is transforming cities of the early 21st century, and will develop effective strategies to build more sustainable, safe, and secure urban environments. The project will bridge research in economic and development geography with other fields such as real estate economics by engaging minority scholars currently underrepresented in STEM disciplines in collaborative training, mentorship, research, and dissemination. It will promote partnerships between colleges and universities and industry and promote sustainable urban economic growth that improves socio-economic well-being. It will also have a positive broader impact on retailers and financial investment entities to improve economic competitiveness.This project has the following research objectives: 1) to understand the location and interaction of global retail investment, 2) to understand the transformations in global retail investment and, 3) to understand and promote sustainable urban environments. These objectives will be met using a mix methods approach that involves the integration of archival data with participatory mapping techniques. The findings will be presented in national conferences, journal publications, and an online research website and mapping archive.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本项目研究零售业的国际投资及其对城市化的影响。它将深入了解全球零售资本如何以及为何改变21世纪初的城市，并将制定有效的战略，以建立更可持续、更安全、更有保障的城市环境。该项目将通过让目前在STEM学科中代表性不足的少数族裔学者参与合作培训、指导、研究和传播，将经济与发展地理学的研究与房地产经济学等其他领域的研究联系起来。它将促进高校和产业之间的伙伴关系，促进可持续的城市经济增长，改善社会经济福祉。它还将对零售商和金融投资实体产生积极的广泛影响，以提高经济竞争力。本项目的研究目标如下：1)了解全球零售投资的区位和互动；2)了解全球零售投资的转型；3)了解和促进可持续的城市环境。为了实现这些目标，将采用一种混合方法，将档案数据与参与式制图技术结合起来。研究结果将在国家会议、期刊出版物、在线研究网站和地图档案中发表。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
