An Analysis of the Retail Industry after the COVID-19 Pandemic in Melbourne and Hefei

Abstract

This paper will attempt to compare the retail industry between two different cities, Hefei and Melbourne. During the last three years, the whole world’s economy was damaged. As an important part of the offline economy model, the retail industry has suffered badly since people want to buy things offline much less during the pandemic. This paper wants to study each city’s retail industry, find their differences and similarities, and discuss the problems each city’s industry faces now.
