World's Most Astonishing Urban Design New Malls

According to Conde Nest Traveller, there are four new developments that typify this exciting trend including one in the Southeast Asia region.

1. Brickell City Centre - MIAMI

Miami Beach has Art Deco, Wynwood, its walls of street art.

Now the once-bland Brickell is popping with this Arquitectonica-designed cluster of towers and plazas near the Miami River. Top of the to-do list is ordering that wood-grilled red snapper at the not-overhyped Quinto la Huella, inside the East, Miami hotel here. At sunset, hit the East's scenery pool deck that's as good as any on Collins Avenue.

2. Central Embassy - BANGKOK

Southeast Asia is packed with boxy, AC-blasted superstores, but this sinuous Bangkok newcomer by AL_A architects raises the design bar with an aluminum-clad facade that recalls Mexico City's Museo Soumaya.

It's all about the food here: Lunch at the tidy indoor hawker center, with Thai street-food standbys like turmeric friend fish and tom yum noodle soup, or grab a rum-and-mango cocktail at the in-house Park Hyatt Bangkok.
