Lonelier By Design: The Quiet Decline Of Community Spaces
Manage episode 500758484 series 2289832
Are you familiar with the term, ‘third place’? These are the local cafes, diners, public parks, park district centers and other places that foster connection and feel accessible and welcoming. Many of us take these areas, and the benefit they bring, for granted. Yet, for many, especially senior citizens and low-income individuals, these spots are a lifeline. Sadly, these places are disappearing across the country as prices rise and people shift their habits. We cover the importance of these hubs and the broad-ranging health impacts and consequences without them.
