I don't think I can spot a single human being walking around in that shot (if I spin it around). Quite sad as it looks reasonably nice as a town centre.

I don't know where everyone is - LOL! I guess inside the shops? I mean, I see plenty of cars in evidence so apparently that's where they are. Also, the clouds look very threatening in that picture - maybe it was raining or about to storm.
Actually - if you navigate around the square you will see people. Here are some:
The shops appear to be closed, maybe early morning.

Although, in small rural areas it might be a completely different story. And also in summerhouse communities.
Absolutely not. I hardly recognise the people who are living here in my stairway. About the rest of the block I have no idea of.
I don't think anybody wants to. Northern and Central Europeans value their privacy very high and arranging parties or get-togethers would be mostly uncomfortable for most people.
In suburban areas you know and socialise with the immediate neighbours at the most. The rest of the street are mostly nobodies.
That's why (most of) our suburbs are heavily wooded, have fences and hedgerows. We want privacy, not a village community. And this is not an Scandinavian phenomenon. Here outside Lyon, France the houses are behind walls: https://www.google.fi/maps/place/Lyo...08ab2ae4bb21f0
Not needed. We call the cops if necessary.
We have among the lowest church attendance figures in the world, hardly anyone goes to church at all. Demonstrating your religion is highly frowned upon. For example, I've seen several times on C-D posters' status descripitons referring to God, Jesus or like "bless you". That would never happen here.
What you've described is pretty typical of inner city life in many, many countries.
