Stefanos Polyzoides was an instructor this year in Robert Gibbs's acclaimed program, "Urban Retail: Essential Planning, Design, and Management Practices."

The program covered many topics, among them the required market demographics for various retailers, shopping center typologies and consumer psychographics, as well as the nuts and bolts of how to program, plan and design competitive retail in historic downtowns, underperforming shopping centers and new ground-up mixed-use town centers and lifestyle centers.
