Third Spaces

The endangered habitats where humans used to socialize outside of home and work—think cafes, libraries, and parks. Coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in the 1980s, these communal gathering spots have been steadily vanishing or becoming prohibitively expensive, leaving Gen Z to wonder why everyone hung out at Central Perk instead of just texting.
