A shopping precinct is a designated area in a town or city where multiple retail stores, shops, and services are grouped together, often within walking distance. It functions as a commercial hub, making it convenient for shoppers to browse different stores in one area. Precincts may include malls, shopping streets, or districts with various types of retailers, cafes, and entertainment options.
