Trzecie miejsce - między klasyczną teorią a jej współczesnym znaczeniem

The third place - between classic theory and its contemporary meaning

Summary: According to Oldenburg, the third place is a meeting space that offers freedom, the opportunity to interact with other participants in urban life and to relax away from home and work. The third place functions as space providing a context for spontaneity, community building and emotional expression. The third place is an informal place focusing lives of local communities outside home. However, in the era of contemporary processes of urban space transformation, the third place is undergoing profound changes. More often scholars describe the process of transferring the third place to the virtual domain. Undoubtedly, a new feature of the third place is the presence of information and communication technologies. This completely changes the understanding of thr third place. An existence of place outside the physical realm provides new opportunities to their users. The virtual space is probably the first dimension of contact with the third place. Recently, more often we discover, get to know and experience the third place for the first time online. Therefore, the question arises what are the contemporary conditions for the existence of third place and what are their development perspectives.
