open space
Room to roam
Open space is land or area left undeveloped or unbuilt, typically preserved for recreation, conservation, or aesthetic purposes.
Parks, greenbelts, and nature reserves qualify as open space.
Urban planners use the term for any area within a city kept free of construction: The neighborhood lacks adequate open space.
More loosely, open space describes any unobstructed expanse: The office redesign created more open space for collaboration.
