ACROSS
ACROSS is the European platform for placemaking — connecting editorial insight, industry dialogue, and executive exchange and learning. It covers the full value chain of retail real estate, mixed-use developments, high streets and public-private partnerships.
Founded in 2008, ACROSS has continuously evolved to reflect the changing nature of the industry. Its editorial focus is guided by a clear principle: the creation of distinctive places with identity, relevance and cultural resonance, rather than anonymous, purely transactional spaces.
Through interviews, expert perspectives and project insights, ACROSS highlights key developments across retail, gastronomy, leisure and urban environments — providing a comprehensive view of the forces shaping contemporary placemaking.
Available Across Europe
ACROSS reaches senior decision-makers in the placemaking industry across 42 European countries. ACROSS combines editorial content with a set of complementary print, digital and executive formats:
ACROSS Magazine
The ACROSS print magazine is the core editorial format of the platform, published four times per year and providing in-depth coverage of key developments, projects and strategic themes in the European placemaking industry.
With a circulation of 20,000 copies, distributed primarily through personally addressed subscriptions, ACROSS reaches senior decision-makers across Europe. Selected editions, including the MAPIC issue with an extended circulation of 23,000 copies, are also distributed at leading international industry events such as MIPIM, EXPO REAL and MAPIC.
The magazine is read by opinion leaders across the European placemaking sector, including developers, operators, retail and expansion managers, institutional investors, real estate consultants, architects, legal and financial advisors, as well as public sector stakeholders.
