møtesteder

Møtesteder is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to denote places where people gather for a specific purpose. The word combines møde (meeting) and sted (place). It may refer to physical venues or virtual spaces intended for interaction.

Examples of physical møtesteder include cafes, offices, community centers, schools, parks, conference venues, and marketplaces. Online møtesteder include video conferences, forums, social networks and dating apps.

Møtesteder support a wide range of activities, including business meetings, education, cultural events, social gatherings and civic participation. In urban planning, the availability and quality of møtesteder influence social cohesion and accessibility.

Planning and safety considerations include accessibility for people with disabilities, transportation access, capacity limits, privacy and consent in interpersonal contexts, and appropriate moderation in online spaces.

In Danish and Norwegian usage, the term encompasses both formal and informal settings and can be contrasted with more specific terms such as møtested, konferanselokale or coworking space.
