IMPACT OF COVID19 ON MANHATTAN RETAIL
“Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later
A movie, too, and then home.” (Lou Reed)
At Eixos we’ve used our fieldwork data to shed light on the current business scenario and what has yet to come as a result of the closure of business. We do not do this to be alarmists, but because we believe that it is possible to make more accurate forecasts and make better decisions with data-driven scenarios.
In the coming days, weeks and months we will be publishing a series of articles that analyze the impact of confinement and social distancing measures on retail and economic activities at the street level of cities.
How does confinement and social distancing affect retail? How will it affect it in the next few months? How will our urban retail be doing in a year? What steps should be taken to revive the likely drop in business activity?
These and others will be questions that we will try to answer using data, and retail composition and retail health indicators.
