  James W. Rouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Wilson Rouse (April 26, 1914 - April 9, 1996) was a pioneering real estate developer civic activist, and later, free enterprise-based philanthropist.
Although in retrospect, many attribute the rise of the shopping mall as a major contributor to the decline of the city downtown core, Rouse's focus at the time was on the introduction of malls as a form of town center for the suburbs.
In the 1960s Rouse turned his focus on planned communities; his crowning achievement during that decade was Columbia, Maryland.
