1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
training, by the computing device, a machine learning model to manage, based on tags corresponding to virtual stores within a virtual environment implemented by a platform, arrangement of the virtual stores along virtual streets within the virtual environment implemented by the platform;
receiving, by the computing device, a request via a network from a client device to access the platform implementing the virtual environment, the request including a user identifier (user ID);
locating, by the computing device, user data corresponding to the user ID;
assigning, by the computing device, via the machine learning model and based on the user data, the tags corresponding to the virtual stores within the virtual environment implemented by the platform;
generating, by the computing device, via the machine learning model and based on the user data and the tags corresponding to the virtual stores within the virtual environment implemented by the platform, the arrangement of the virtual stores along the virtual streets within the virtual environment;
generating, by the computing device, the virtual environment as having the generated arrangement; and
outputting, by the computing device, the generated virtual environment for communication via the network to the client device.
