“…The concept has since developed, and the presence of these recognizable faces has increasingly been regarded as a tool for increasing sociality of public spaces (Lofland, 1973, 1998). A variety of spaces, including restaurants (Duneier, 1992), laundromats (Kenen, 1982), bars (Cavan, 1966), clothing stores (Wiseman, 1979), parks (DeLand, 2014; Jacobs, 1961; Kriegel, 2017; Low, Taplin, & Scheld, 2005; Robins, Sanders, & Cahill, 1991; Wolch & Rowe, 1992), trains and buses (Pearce, 1980), and street corners (Anderson, 1978; Duneier, 1999) have been shown to accommodate positive, communal, and often fleeting interactions. These interactions are tied to greater civic engagement and improved well-being (Cattell, Dines, Gesler, & Curtis, 2008; Francis, Giles-Corti, Wood, & Kniuman, 2012; Leyden, 2003).…”
