Themed Streets: The future might see streets where each 'village' has its own unique shops and commercial themes, reminiscent of the past. 2. Hyper-locality: The rise of micro-facilities like micro-hospitals and micro-universities, local currencies, and bartering systems emphasize a strong local focus. 3. Technology's Role: E-commerce will change local shops' operations, emphasizing curation and sociability. Advanced technologies like 3D printing and AI will support local endeavors, enhancing the shopping experience.

In a separate note, from a programmatic standpoint, one opportunity that has yet to be accounted for is thoughtfully implementing the in-store pick up for online orders experience as its current iteration is a bandaid fix.
