So good to hear about Torino. Similar thing has happened here in Bricklyn, VT. One thing Bricklyn planners have emphasized is installing more benches. Also, every Tuesday night there's "dancing in the streets" downtown. See: bricklynvt.com/2024/02/27/b... and bricklynvt.com/2024/02/16/d...

Benches Can Bring Big Benefits

The LEGO City of Bricklyn has found that increasing the number of public benches throughout the Realm has benefitted people of all ages, as well as shop owners.
