Third Spaces in Sydney
Last month our director Melissa Neighbour, was quoted in an article on Third Spaces in the Sydney Morning Herald.
So what are Third Spaces?
They are important community anchors. Successful public spaces, like plazas and neighbourhood squares encourage lingering and interaction, they allow for incidental encounters as well as daily rituals like catching up with our neighbours.
Most importantly, they give the community a space in which everyone is invited to participate and belong.
Third spaces enable deep social bonds to develop, allowing us to experience a sense of purpose through being part of a community. They are the mechanism for building the kind of economic and social fabric that keeps communities healthy, happy and resilient.
We'd love to hear about the Third Spaces in your city that you love! Shoot us a message on our instagram.
