Ray Oldenburg coined the term third place through his magnum opus book, The Great Good Place, published in 1989. The third-place is supposed to be accessible for social interaction and knowledge sharing. It is a social space outside the home and works, and it takes a variety of forms such as cafes, coffee shops, bars, bookstores, hair salons, and other hangout places. The conversation is the main activity and attraction in third place. Thirty years after the term was introduced, third places in Bandung are far from the original meaning. It appears to be more oriented towards accommodating the digital lifestyle of young people. This paper is written based on the most popular third place among young people in Bandung. Undertaken in two cafes organized under the same management, the study aims to identify strategies and tactics in creating an atmosphere for social interactions to occur in the third place. Field observation and semi-structured interviews catered to the data collection on users' activities and preferences in third places during weekdays and weekends. The study results indicate that a third-place attractiveness is designed to the users' interest in favor of digital devices. The third-place can hold on to the users through spatial experiences that stimulate the senses and affordable goods and services. The management of the cafes is fully aware that a third-place should be selling memories rather than products. The cafes put high effort into the attractive interior design and spatial program.

“…Earlier work introduced the notion of playgrounds; physical places in the city where citizens interact on the streets in fun, open, and spontaneous ways (Slingerland et al, 2019a(Slingerland et al, , 2020b. These playful environments, potentially mediated by technology, were designed to create safe spaces for citizens to explore, experience, and reflect on city life (Ferreira et al, 2017). In these spaces, citizens need to trust each other and experience each other's presence (Brazier and Nevejan, 2014;Harding et al, 2015).…”

Making it work together can be challenging when various stakeholders are involved. Given the context of neighborhoods and cities specifically, stakeholders values and interests are not always aligned. In these settings, to construct long-term and sustaining participatory city-making projects, to make it work together, is demanding. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a design framework for inclusive and participatory city-making. This framework is inspired by the playable city perspective in that it endorses an open, exploratory, and interactive mindset of city actors. An extensive literature review on approaches taken for playful and participatory interventions in local communities provides the foundations for the framework. The review brings forward four pillars on which the framework is grounded and four activities for exploration of the design space for participatory city-making. A case study from The Hague (NL) is used to demonstrate how the framework can be applied to design and analyze processes in which city stakeholders together make it work. The case study analysis complements the framework with various research methods to support researchers, urban planners, and designers to engage with all city stakeholders to create playful and participatory interventions, which are inclusive and meaningful for the local community. The research contributions of this paper are the proposed framework and informed suggestions on how this framework in practice assists city stakeholders to together make it work.
