centro de compras
Ver definicao. Nao creio que tenhamos tais centros no Brasil, posso estar equivocada.

Basicamente, e uma area onde se encontram varias lojas - diferentemente dos shoppig centers, formado por um unico predio, estas lojas estao "enfileiradas" em construcoes independentes e possuem via de regra uma area aberta para pedestres e estacionamento de veiculos.

Shopping Centers
In Brazil the title Shoppings Centers is widely accepted throughout the country and I dont think there is a translation.
The difference lies between the Shopping Mall (encompassing smaller and more exclusive shops) and the outlet Shopping Centre (Ex. Sawgrass Mills, in Florida, very big ) where you will find the famous and very popular discount or outlet shops.

: at the malls, shops are not necessarily exclusive. i.e. Michaels Arts & Crafts, Target, Kohls, etc.

Hi, Beta I meant to say they are more exclusive when compared to the shops found in outlet shopping centers. Here in Florida the likes of Target , Michaels and Wall Marg are independent buildings or located in the so-called outlet shopping centers.

: Exato, o que eu conheço como Shopping Center descobri ser chamado de Mall nos EUA (e.g. Florida Mall)

conjunto comercial
Antes de falarem em Shopping Center, o lugar que tinha dessa maneira na minha cidade era chamado Conjunto Comercial (que ainda esta lá firme). =]
Só mais uma opção.
