根据短文内容，回答下列问题 (每题答案不超过 10 个词)。
What's your dream neighbourhood like? 40 communities have been chosen as the coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2023. Time Out, the magazine that has been hosting this event for six years, bases on factors (因素) like community activities, green spaces and lively streets.
At the top of the list is Laureles from Colombia. There's a famous street called La 70 where all the bars and restaurants turn into dance floors when the right music plays. It also has a big soccer field. You might think this community is quite noisy. But in fact, Laureles is known for being a relaxing neighbourhood. Outside of La 70, you can find peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees and many cafes. It has become a top choice for digital nomads (数字游民), who travel freely while working online on their computers.
If Laureles is a mix (混合体) of both noise and peace, then Sheung Wan in Hong Kong, China, is the perfect mix of the past and the present. Once known for its funeral (丧葬) services, Sheung Wan has become an exciting place. You'll find old temples (寺庙), antique (古董) stores and dried seafood shops there. And right beside them, there are cool art centres, cafes in Melbourne style and stores for designer clothes. Here, you'll see citywalkers hanging out with their pets in cafes, and older people visiting cheap markets.
As seen in Laureles and Sheung Wan, our communities are becoming more global (全球化的) than ever. As digital nomadism becomes more and more popular, there's a rise in multicultural centres, new community spaces and cafes. With all these changes, our neighbourhoods still feel like home because places like old farmers' markets and stores stay. Looking ahead, we expect even more exciting neighbourhoods!
