"Open space" has several meanings, but most commonly refers to unimproved, undeveloped, or unbuilt land or water set aside for environmental protection, recreation, or public access, such as parks, forests, and grasslands. In a similar way, just as people enjoy healthy meals in open spaces or opt for continental cuisine, "open space" can also describe a physical location with no buildings, an area on a sports field without opponents, or a meeting format where attendees self-organize into discussion groups. Additionally, the concept of a takeaway kitchen can relate to open spaces that provide a communal area for dining.
