The Galleria in Milan,
the Arcade in Cleveland, Ohio'
Smaller arcades of London and Paris

Contemporary shopping malls are much the same everywhere because the primary goal is to maximize storefront exposure while minimizing space required for pedestrian circulation. What architecture there is largely appears overhead, but users focus on the show windows--which is the intention, of course. Exteriors usually are banal, with vast expanses of plain wall.
