Car-driven culture moved populations to bedroom-communities in the new suburbs, creating shopping malls, some that were climate-controlled. That evolved to try to re-create what turned out to 'authentic-ish' but were reacted to as fake or un-authentic.
What's happening now is the creation of Life-Style Centers to provide "the experience" . . .
Most of them are privately-owned, whereas older downtown areas that can evolve organically are public spaces.
