What Makes a City Feel Alive or Dead?

A city feels alive when there are lots of people around and things happening, like markets, music, or people walking in the streets. If a city is quiet and has few people, it might feel dead. Imagine a park full of kids playing versus an empty one, that’s how cities work!
