It seems odd this article concludes the solution to isolation is redesigning cities to force social interaction. Whereas the rich are more immune to the negative health effects of isolation.
Maybe instead the economy should be redesigned so the haves vs have nots isn’t so extreme and force social interaction amount the two groups. But most importantly this would combat the stress (cortisol) such a large segment of society has as a result of financial burdens and debt.
- CryptoPunk 8y agoAre you sure it's proposing that cities force social interaction? Could it be a proposal to provide more options for living arrangements with a lot of social interaction, like group homes? Such arrangements do force interaction, but people would be choosing to put themselves in that situation, and would be able to get themselves out of the situation by simply moving to another apartment in the same city.
