    This document discusses Ray Oldenburg's concept of the "third place," which are informal public gathering places like coffee shops, community centers, and parks that are distinct from home and work. These third places are important for fostering casual social interaction, but the author argues they are threatened by rapid urbanization and a lack of welcoming environments. The document provides examples of third places and notes how a lack of parks and public spaces in the Philippines prevents communities from coming together outside of home and work.
