A first space refers to the place you live.

A second space is where you spend most of your time that is not at home, like work or school.

A third space is everything else. Shops, restaurants, parks, etc.

The issue that young people are facing is that there isn't really anywhere they can exist that isnt at home or school. Communal spaces where young people are allowed to spend time, especially places where there isnt an expectation to spend money constantly have been eroding away over the past 30 years.

It's not a coincidence why most pre-2000 teenager-focused media has the mall as a main setting

The not spending money part is soo key. We should not have to spend money every time we leave our homes.

Thanks for the explanation. Is a second space a space you're obligated to be, like work/school, or just anywhere you spend most of your time regardless?

in sociology it's home = first place, and workplace = second place, but Ray Oldenburg calls second place anywhere you spend most of the time when you're awake

Thank you for that detail
