Don't they have that type of thing inside shopping centres and places like that?

The only problem is that modern developmennts will make places like this mostly INSIDE shopping centres , university campuses, or stadiums or places like that.

Very rarely do they ever make modern places like this OUTSIDE where you can see people walking by enjoying the day, meeting and greeting strangers who have common interests, or see your nervous neice waiting for their first date , or just taking in the public atmosphere and 'vibe' while outside.

Most infrasructure created these days in north america and Europe , and even in place in the Global South that have started taking in a large amount of vehicles and cars in thhe previous decade like Vietnam, is more so car-centric rather than people-centric. The two newest public seating areas Ive seen built in the city Im in was built in a way so that you could see the beautiful sights.... of the highway right next to it... 😐
