Lend Lease and the University of Newcastle, with the support of the Australian Government's Australian Research Council, have formed a research partnership to investigate possibilities in improving sustainability in the retail sector.

It will aim to crystallise the intangible aspects of shopping centre design and quantify the benefits of socially, financially, as well as environmentally sustainable retail developments.
