"Retail was the first property sector to see a huge momentum shift away from Edge Cities. Now that momentum in the office and residential markets has shifted away from the suburbs, it's hard to argue that drivable suburbia is still what Americans demand."

if all of that was shifts to cities, or at least to "neo urban" suburban centers, I would agree - but a lot of the shift is to the internet, or to big box, or to surban lifestyle centers (which have SOME more urban/small town charecteristics, but are OFTEN much like outdoor malls, with the usual seas of parking) So Im not sure retail is really leading the shift away from edge city - if anything Id say in DC residential is (unless of course the indoor mall is considered definitional to edge city, which is a matter of debate, I guess)
