The meaning of place

Space is what makes up areas of place. All someone needs to turn space into place is meaning. Your hometown is a 'place' to you, however it is really lots of areas of space that were giving meaning and forming a larger area of place. This place is somewhere you feel comfortable and have memories, both  good and bad. Cresswell answers what makes a place by saying " they are all spaces which people have made meaningful. They are all spaces people are all attached to in one way or another. This is the most straightforward and common definition of place - a meaningful location". Any space you giving meaning will be transformed into place.
