Behind loneliness lies a system
This guide provides inspiration for action, as loneliness is a spatial issue. There is a system behind it. The authors of the publication combine practical examples, key questions and checklists with insights from research and practice. The result is a tool for implementation at a local level
The focus is on an integrated neighbourhood approach: the design of residential buildings, open spaces and meeting places is addressed, as are services, activities and forms of collaboration.
An invitation to take action
The publication invites readers to view loneliness as a shared task of community planning. It is possible to take responsibility together – in a reliable, resource-efficient and sustainable manner.
