#304 Architecture against loneliness

02 Jul 2025

Description

The BuiltSmart Hub podcast takes a comprehensive look at how architecture and urban planning can actively combat loneliness and social isolation. It sheds light on how urban developments are leading to increasing loneliness and argues that the built environment must be understood as a social infrastructure that enables encounters and social participation. Using concepts such as neighbourhood development, co-living and the design of public meeting spaces as well as specific case studies, it shows how conscious planning can promote social qualities in buildings and neighbourhoods. The text emphasises the need for interdisciplinary cooperation and participatory planning for a more social future of construction.
