If memory serves me right, the person who invented the mall, was an Austrian immigrant in the US. He wanted to recreate the experience of Austrian walkable city centre streets (which are full of mixed-use buildings, with storefronts at the bottom floor and apartments above). But I think only having shops was deemed more profitable by corporate.
