Most of the malls in my area (Northern Virginia) are basically being torn down for the new "Town-center" model. Basically a mini city in the middle of suburbia that host apartments/condo/business in high raises so people can park, work in the area, walk around when its nice, and in general experience city life while still having a house a couple of miles away. Not sure what the population threshold needs to be in order to make this work in other areas but it could be a semi-decent replacement for local business. One of the biggest mall in the area (has Prince Charles and Princess Diana visit it back in 1985) that died in 2012 has been reborn as this concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Town_Center
