Can modern sport contribute to reactivating community in urbanized society? This essay, referring to the feature of urbanization, considers the significance of intergenerational communication to the regeneration of community and the character of sports for promoting exchanges among different generations. In sport activities, we can find, for example "the form of sociability". Sociability implies the ability to enjoy and relish relationships with others and supposes such an attitude.

Keywords: Community, urbanization, sociability
