The Role of Third Place in Active Communities
The importance of Third Place, is the place that we go that is between work and home, historically this was the pub in working class towns, or the Mechanics Institute, in the country it is the Football and Netball Clubs… planning for the future what should we be thinking about?
Can this be designed retrospectively or is it easier in new communities being built.
