Why go

The square has fountains and sitting areas and is surrounded by buildings with colourful electronic billboards. The city renamed the square in 2023 to distance it from the namesake of Dundas Street, Henry Dundas, a Scottish politician who had argued for an eight-year delay of the British abolition of slavery, against those who supported immediate emancipation.
