This video explores the design and impact of Walmart, the largest retailer on earth. With stores covering more land than Manhattan, Walmart's vast network includes various formats like Sam's Clubs, Supercenters, Walmarts, Discount Centers, and Neighborhood Markets. The company controls a significant share of the built environment, optimized for the distribution of goods and capital generation. Despite their ubiquitous presence, most people are unaware of what goes into Walmart stores or why they are the way they are. The video delves into the history of Walmart's selfservice retail model, its distribution centers, and the importance of data flow. It also examines the design elements of Walmart stores, the adaptable exteriors, and the flexible interior spaces.
