Town Square
A town square (or square, plaza, public square, city square, urban square, or ''piazza'') is an open public space, commonly found in the heart of a traditional town but not necessarily a true square, geometric square, used for community gatherings. Related concepts are the civic center, the market square and the village green. Most squares are hardscapes suitable for open market (place), markets, concerts, political rallies, and other events that require firm ground. Being centrally located, town squares are usually surrounded by small shops such as bakeries, meat markets, cheese stores, and clothing stores. At their center is often a water well, well, monument, statue or other feature. Those with fountains are sometimes called fountain squares.

Public Square Street
Public Square Street (; formerly ) is a street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Location The street runs in an east-west alignment from Cliff Road to Ching Ping Street (), meeting Nathan Road, Temple Street, Shanghai Street, Reclamation Street and Canton Road in its course. History The street was built in 1887. Its original name in Chinese was (''Kung Chong Sze Fong Kai'' in Cantonese), a mistranslation that resulted from the word ''square'' being misinterpreted as a geometric shape. The more accurate translation of (''Chung Fong Kai'' in Cantonese language) was adopted in 1976. A large-scale reclamation was carried out in Yau Ma Tei between 1900 and 1904, between today's Reclamation Street and Ferry Street. Public Square Street was extended to Ferry Street accordingly.

The Public Square
"The Public Square" is a poem from the second edition (1931) of Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry, '' Harmonium.'' It was first published in 1923, so it is one of the few poems in the collection that is not free of copyright, but it is quoted here in full as justified by fair use for scholarly commentary. The violence of an edifice's demolition is matched by the violence of the poem's language, particularly in the first two stanzas. The slow-motion collapse is captured in the surreal atmosphere created by the third stanza. The final stanza etches a precise image of the square's clearing. The harshness of the poem can be compared to the brutal encounter with Berserk in " Anecdote of the Prince of Peacocks", with which it shares an architectural motif. Buttel detects the influence of Cubism Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture.

Urban Park
An urban park or metropolitan park, also known as a municipal park (North America) or a public park, public open space, or municipal gardens ( UK), is a park in cities and other incorporated places that offer recreation and green space to residents of, and visitors to, the municipality. The design, operation, and maintenance is usually done by government agencies, typically on the local level, but may occasionally be contracted out to a park conservancy, "friends of" group, or private sector company. Common features of municipal parks include playgrounds, gardens, hiking, running and fitness trails or paths, bridle paths, sports fields and courts, public restrooms, boat ramps, and/or picnic facilities, depending on the budget and natural features available. Park advocates claim that having parks near urban residents, including within a 10-minute walk, provide multiple benefits.

A thriving digital public square has a rich content stream that may include video footage of community events and an interactive community record of nonprofit news and resources.
