In this episode, we speak with the project’s co-Founder, Robert Hammond, about 'Third Places'- what they are, why they matter, and how they’re evolving. From their sometimes-grandiose role in urban renewal (such as the High Line) to their essential everyday purpose as a space for connection – third places include parks, libraries, cafes, bars, gyms, and other community gathering spots. Tune in to learn more. You’ll also hear about Robert’s newest vision – bringing public bathhouses to the US after their millennia of importance as third places in Europe, Asia, and throughout human history. ABOUT THE SERIES: FUTURE OF XYZ is an award-winning interview series that explores big questions about where we are as a world and where we’re going.
