The impact of the built environment on loneliness: A systematic review and narrative synthesis, in Health and Place
key takeaway: "Our results reveal specific aspects of the built environment that can reduce loneliness, as summarised in Table S8. However, the evidence does not suggest a deterministic, one-to-one, relationship between built-environment characteristics and loneliness. Instead, the relationship is complex, contextual, and multidirectional, emerging from interrelationships among the built environment and the broader socio-cultural and economic milieu, which intersect with individual experiences, needs, values, and practices."
