content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

The once-dominant model of vast, impersonal shopping spaces has given way to more intimate, culturally rich environments that blend retail with community engagement and artistic expression. The [[Cultural Retail Renaissance]] movement, inspired by the success of the [[Gotham Workers Alliance]] in creating community-centric spaces, has swept across the global retail landscape. Hypermarkets now frequently incorporate elements of local culture and history into their design and product offerings. In Nigeria, for example, the [[Lagos Market Fusion]] project has transformed traditional hypermarkets into vibrant spaces that celebrate the country's diverse cultural heritage, echoing the cultural pride seen in the [[Nigerian Mineral Pride]] movement. These new hypermarkets often feature spaces dedicated to the [[Mineral Art Movement]], showcasing works that blend traditional aesthetics with themes of consumerism and sustainability. This integration of art and retail has created a more thoughtful and engaging shopping experience, encouraging consumers to consider the cultural and environmental impact of their purchases. ## Social Dynamics of New Retail Spaces The social fabric of hypermarkets has been rewoven, with community playing a central role in the retail experience. Drawing inspiration from the [[Community Mining Partnership Model]] developed in Nigeria, many hypermarkets have adopted a [[Community Retail Partnership]] approach. This model ensures that local communities are not merely consumers but active partners in shaping the retail landscape. The [[Hypermarket Town Square]] concept has emerged as a popular feature, transforming traditionally sterile shopping environments into vibrant community hubs. These spaces host events ranging from [[Cultural Commons Initiative]] workshops to [[Polylingual Poetry Movement]] readings, fostering social connections and cultural exchange. The [[Prosumer]] concept, previously noted in the energy sector, has found new expression in retail. Many hypermarkets now include [[Maker Spaces]] where customers can produce or customize products, blurring the lines between consumption and creation. This trend aligns with the broader shift towards the [[Empathy Economy]], emphasizing personal connection and customization in retail experiences. ## Political Responses and Retail Policies Governments worldwide have responded to the evolving retail landscape with innovative policies.

The [[Watchmakers' Collective]], inspired by the [[Cross-Cultural Neighbor Network]] seen in Los Angeles, brings together traditional watchmakers and young innovators, fostering intergenerational knowledge transfer and social cohesion. The city has also embraced the concept of [[Time Banking]], a community-driven initiative where residents exchange services based on time rather than money. This system, which echoes elements of the [[Global Food Solidarity Network]], has created a robust local economy and strengthened social ties. ## Political Landscape and Cross-Border Relations La Chaux-de-Fonds has emerged as a key player in Swiss politics, particularly in matters of cultural preservation and cross-border cooperation. The city council's [[Heritage and Innovation Policy]], similar in spirit to the [[Los Angeles Cultural Preservation Act]], ensures that urban development respects the city's UNESCO World Heritage status while encouraging innovation. The city has also been at the forefront of strengthening cross-border relations with neighboring France. The [[Franco-Swiss Jura Cooperation Initiative]], launched in 2030, has created a unique economic and cultural corridor, reminiscent of the [[Buenos Aires-Montevideo Corridor]] in South America. ## Urban Planning and Architectural Preservation La Chaux-de-Fonds' famous chessboard layout, designed in the 19th century after a devastating fire, has been further enhanced through the [[Smart Grid Overlay Project]]. This initiative integrates modern sustainable technologies into the historic urban fabric, similar to the [[SmartGrid AI]] in New York but with a focus on preserving architectural heritage. The [[Vertical Watchmaking Towers]], inspired by the concept of vertical farming seen in cities like New York and Los Angeles, have become architectural marvels. These structures house watchmaking workshops, museums, and residential spaces, embodying the city's blend of tradition and innovation. ## Economic Evolution: Watchmaking and Beyond While watchmaking remains a cornerstone of La Chaux-de-Fonds' economy, the industry has evolved significantly. The [[Precision Engineering Cluster]], building on the city's watchmaking expertise, has expanded into fields such as medical devices and quantum computing components, echoing the diversification seen in the [[Indigenous Tech Hub]] in Los Angeles. The city has also become a leader in the [[Craft AI Movement]], where artificial intelligence is used to enhance traditional craftsmanship rather than replace it. This approach has revitalized the watchmaking industry and inspired similar movements in other craft-based economies worldwide. ## Challenges and Future Prospects Despite its successes, La Chaux-de-Fonds faces challenges. The city grapples with balancing its growth with environmental conservation, a concern shared by many cities worldwide. The [[Jura Climate Adaptation Plan]], developed in collaboration with neighboring communities, addresses these issues through innovative urban planning and sustainable practices. The city is also navigating the complexities of maintaining its distinct local identity while embracing global influences. The [[Global Watchmakers' Exchange Program]], similar in concept to the [[Francophonie Renaissance Conferences]], brings together watchmakers from around the world, fostering a global community while preserving local traditions. As La Chaux-de-Fonds looks to the future, it stands as a model for how small cities can adapt to global changes while preserving their unique heritage and community spirit. Its ability to blend tradition with innovation, and local identity with global connections, positions it well to face the challenges of the mid-21st century and beyond. </article> "
