[edit] Place
In The United States in the World Economy, John Agnew contends that for a space to become a 'place', three requirements need to be met :
- A specific location, something that answers the question, 'Where?'
- A locale - the actual shape of the space, such as walls in a room or parks and streets in a city, etc
- A sense of place - the personal and emotional attachment people have to a space (or rather, place, now that the three requirements have been met)[1]
