Social connections among neighbours are the foundation for happier, more trusting, resilient, and supportive communities. Hey Neighbour Collective, Happy Cities, and SFU Gerontology have been studying how the design of multi-unit housing influences social connection and wellbeing.

A home is more than just a place to live. It can nurture connections with neighbours & a sense of belonging. Frances Bula explores how to design these 'friendly' buildings: theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/ar…
