Document Summary
Every place is a space but not every space is considered a place. The thing about space and place is that it depends on your own perceptions and can be different from person to person. A place is a location, whether it is inside a specific space or the space itself, that is vested with emotion and meaning. As long as the location has a meaning to one person, it will be considered a place. To everyone else in the world it could be just a bus stop but to one person that spot could be a home. A space can be anything from a very general location to a very specific spot. Also, a space doesn"t necessarily have meaning to an individual like a place does. For example, if a person was on their way to their destination, the destination would be considered a place because it has meaning to the individual.
