Transport accessibility is the \n connecting element between the transport component and the market component. \n By means of accessibility, we can indicate the potential for interaction between \n the client and the shopping mall and their locations, and to what extent they can \n meet the needs of the residents. The main aim of the article is to show transport \n accessibility to shopping centres in Łódź, as well as to indicate the tendencies that \n determine their accessibility to distribution.
