The loneliness economy: why community connection matters
Original: The loneliness economy: Why community connection should be a development priority
Commentary is arguing that loneliness has become an economic issue, with the case made that building community connection should be treated as a development priority rather than an afterthought. The argument links social isolation to costs for local economies and suggests planners and policymakers should design neighbourhoods and services around fostering human connection.
Why now: Loneliness and its economic and social costs are an increasingly prominent topic in public policy debates.
