"A 'stimulus' can be a physical object or sight. At the small park at the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights, there is a spectacular view of the towers of lower Manhattan across the East River. It is a great conversation opener and strangers often remark on it to each other. When you come upon such a scene it would be rude not to."
"stimulus" in this case is an external linkage between people that prompts bonding.

[Of Union Square Farmers Market} "The kind of food some people find most compelling is right off the farm... inviting [pedestrians] to touch and squeeze and sniff. The activity is also very sociable. There is a direct line from grower to consumer ... This means more things to talk about, to query, and most of the farmers talk knowledgeably and well."

Fredrick Law Olmstead spoke of an "interior" park and an "exterior" one; the "exterior" should be enjoyable from the street by providing a scenic beauty and inviting pedestrians into the "interior" of the park.
