Shared Space Podcast.
Social health and human connection are essential. Shared Space uses neuroscience and design to explain how built environments shape our capacity to connect — and what we can do about it.
Third Places: How Shared Spaces Can Connect
Before we lost them, most of us barely noticed they were there — the coffee shop, the park, the corner library. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg called these informal gathering places third places, and the research on what we lose when they disappear is striking. This episode explores the social health case for protecting and designing spaces where community happens without an invitation.
