COMMUNITY DESIGN
Third places can play a crucial role in connecting and engaging communities. By providing public spaces where people can come together and interact outside of their homes and workplaces, third places can foster a sense of community and belonging.
A third place (the term was coined by Ray Oldenburg in 1980) is a familiar public spot where you regularly connect with others known and unknown, over a shared interest or activity.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a global blueprint for dignity, peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. A few years into the Agenda, we see how civil society, private sector, and governments are translating this shared vision into national development plans.
