Connecting people and places

For the purposes of Small Town Research, we use information provided by the Project for Public Spaces, which includes 4 Key features in Public Places - or in this case, within the business districts (i.e. primary public space) of a small town:

• Socialability: Does this place foster seeing friends, meeting neighbors and safe interaction with strangers?

• Uses and Activities: Does this place have reasons to visit and continue to return?

• Comfort & Image: Is this place comfortable and does it present itself well?

• Access & Linkages: how connected is this place to its surroundings?
