Description
Summary:	Ray Oldenburg's concept of third place is revisited in this book through contemporary approaches and new examples of third places. Third place is not your home (first place), not your work (second place), but those informal public places in which we interact with the people. Readers will come to understand the importance of third places and how they can be incorporated into urban design to offer places of interaction, promoting togetherness in an urbanized world of mobility and rapid change.
