open spaces
Gaps between things
Open spaces are areas of land that remain undeveloped—parks, fields, preserves, or any expanse without buildings or structures.
The term often carries positive connotations of room to breathe, natural beauty, or relief from urban density: She moved west for the open spaces.
City planners use it technically for designated land protected from development.
