Are our cities making us lonelier?

What does loneliness mean to you?

The Australian Psychological Society defines loneliness as ‘a negative feeling that a person can experience when their social relations are not the way they would like’. 

We’re asking the question: How do the urban environments we live in affect how lonely we are?

We spoke to Dr Jennifer Kent; a Senior Research Fellow in Urbanism at the University of Sydney about this important issue.
