Urban Loneliness
About this audiobook
How can millions of people live side by side and still feel profoundly alone?
Modern cities promise connection, opportunity, entertainment, and endless social possibilities. Yet for many residents, urban life produces a peculiar kind of isolation: being surrounded by people without feeling genuinely known.
Urban Loneliness explores the social and psychological forces behind loneliness in densely populated environments.
From anonymous apartment buildings and transient neighbourhoods to digital communication, demanding work schedules, and the disappearance of shared community spaces, the book investigates why proximity does not necessarily create belonging.
It examines the consequences of chronic loneliness and considers how urban design, social institutions, and everyday human interaction can help rebuild meaningful connection.
A thoughtful exploration of modern city life, social isolation, community, and the universal need to belong.
