That’s where the concept of Third Places comes into play. You see, to be sustainable (i.e. liveable, enduring, agreeable) every community, town, village or region needs three places for its people.
Place number one of course is our homes – we all need somewhere to retreat to, to recharge, to sleep, to feel safe and sheltered in.
Number two is our workplaces – we all (or most of us anyway) need to earn money to pay for our life and the stuff we use and things we do.
Third places are for socialisation. And this is where well-being really kicks in and is what events and a vibrant night-time economy help deliver.
