In many cities an increasing number of people do not know their neighbours and there is a lack of sense of community. What are the causes of this problem? How can it be solved?

A

community

is often formed by

people

who have something in common, living in the same building. Unfortunately, during the

last

decade creating a

community

of

neighbours

has become more difficult. There are several reasons that helped to create

this

problem. In

this

essay, I will describe some of them with their possible solutions.

Firstly

,

people

overall

in big cities tend to have limited time to meet their

neighbours

.

This

phenomenon increases the possibility to find meet their

neighbours

become impossible. As a matter of fact, when someone asks them if they know with whom they live around, they usually answer negatively and barely show any interest in knowing other

people

in the same place. One way to solve

this

tendency might be asking them to meet once every month and make them sign contracts of less than one year.

Moreover

, nowadays,

people

are becoming more shy, probably because of the advent of social media.

For

this

reason, they are not confident meeting their

neighbours

. Organizing periodic meetings between

neighbours

could be an efficient way to create a

community

of

people

and maybe a friendship between them. In conclusion, in a society in which

people

tend to move a lot and are sometimes negatively influenced by social media is difficult to create a

community

between

neighbours

.

However

, by working on new laws regarding the duration of location contracts and pushing

people

to meet periodically, it is possible to contrast

this

tendency and build a

community

of

neighbours

and perhaps friends.
