dc.subject	This paper explores how integrating urban action sports (UAS) into public spaces can enhance social cohesion, using Stadhuisplein in Eindhoven as a case study. Once seen as uninviting by the municipality, the area has been revitalized by UAS participants, fostering mental wellbeing, social interaction, and trust-based networks. The study highlights the role of UAS in creating safer, more engaging communities and stresses the importance of local authorities providing clear communication.
