Abstract: Motivated by the study of area laws for the entanglement entropy of gapped ground states of quantum spin systems and their stability, we prove that the unitary cocycle generated by a local time-dependent Hamiltonian can be approximated, for any finite set $X$, by a tensor product of the corresponding unitaries in $X$ and its complement, multiplied by a dynamics strictly supported in the neighbourhood of the surface $partialX$. The error decays almost exponentially in the size of the neighbourhood and grows with the square of the area~$vertpartialXver{t}^2$.
