There are urban malls that only take up one downtown block and don't have a sea of parking around them, or any site provided parking at all for that matter.
They can be good for those large blocks where the interior of the block is not used efficiently because of the size, since mall shops do not need windows to the outside. Interior urban malls are also great for places where the weather is bad most of the time.
With the urban malls you can still have a strip of shops around them on their outsides.
