Abstract
Twenty-five years have now passed since the last Census of Distribution was carried out. Since 1971, retailing has been thoroughly restructured and at a time of massive change, the data sources for the understanding of the spatial implications of this 'retail revolution' are inadequate. Commercial substitutes are incomplete and insufficient. Given the importance of retailing to the economy and to everyday life, this statistical and spatial disaster should be rectified urgently.
