place and space

"Place" refers to a specific location that holds meaning or significance, often shaped by personal experiences or cultural context, giving it a sense of identity. "Space," on the other hand, is a general, abstract area without particular meaning—it's the physical dimensions or open territory around us. Think of "space" as an empty room, while "place" is that same room filled with furniture, memories, or purpose. Together, they help us understand how humans perceive and assign value to locations in our environment.
