Third Places

Definition: Third Places

Third places are places that are not assigned to home (First Place) or workplace (Second Place). They offer space for informal meetings and social interactions, such as cafés, parks or co-working spaces.

Significance and statistics

Third places play a central role in social wellbeing and connecting people. According to a study by the Brookings Institute, third places promote creativity and collaboration because they offer relaxed environments in which new ideas and collaborations can arise.

Causes and examples

Third places are emerging because people are increasingly using flexible working models and mobile technologies. One example of a successful third place is the “WeWork” model, which brings people together who don't work in a traditional office.
