Packaging
analise why its a problem

for packaging
 
Product easily broken, especially electronic, or pottery and delicate items.  Items left on shelving or in warehouse collect dust,  damp and get broken, ruined.  Transportation of goods from warehouse to shop impossible and inconvinient in large quantities.  Items take up more storage space because cant be stacked on top of each other.
 
Items may be "lost on shelves" because too small or unattractive to be noticed.  Small is not beautiful, neither are plain black or plain colour items.

Architecture
analise why its a problem

Ok what are the problems of a flat?
They are cold, damp, noisey from traffic, from neighbours above and below you.  If your neighbour has a leak, your flat gets flooded.  Exclusive flats can be too expensive, lifts dont work, shared acces with your neighbours.  No green spaces, far away from shops and entertainment.  No parking facilities,  No fire escapes.  Not enough space to build large flats in the inner city.  Flats a long way from your place of work.
 
For a shopping centre
too big too many shops.  Not enough shops, too small.  Boring decour and architecture.  If outside the centre difficult to get to .  Not enough customers.  Need parking. Centre needs a lot of space which costs a lot of money in the centre of the city.  Space taken often at the expense of trees parks water and wildlife. Lifts dont work, escalators not sign posted for up and down, unsafe balconies, railings too low,  No fire drill or fire escapes.  No retaurants, too many shops, shopping centres near by so that people wont shop there. No place for bands entertainment.  Poor cinema  facilities and poor restaurants
