About Third Space Strategies

What are third spaces?

The name is based on the idea of your home being your first, work being your second space and then the spaces we go to gather, rebuild and enjoy ourselves being the “third spaces”. In practice this looks like many things: cinemas, parks, libraries, theaters, dining and drinking establishments, gyms and beyond.

Why are these third spaces important?

Isolating our lives to work and home leaves critical social interactions for our mental and physical health by the way-side. Third spaces are where we develop socially outside of our pre-existing inner-circles, they help us collectively combat loneliness, are the signs of a thriving community and… they’re just fun! ;)

How do we activate?

We engage with government, academia and the private sector both creatively and strategically to develop initiatives around third spaces. Check out our current projects to learn more!
