Abstract In an era marked by the rise of digital communication, establishing more opportunities for face-to-face contact in the heart of communities is essential to having vibrant and liveable small towns. This chapter reflects on the unique social dynamics of small communities and the physical aspects that affect personal interactions. It also proposes the inclusion of public art to promote communication between residents and its potential to weave cultural tradition and heritage into the social fabric. It also calls for buildings’ preservation to form a unique sense of place and identity.
