    Part of the problem I think is people working all the time, with less time for socialisation. Maybe better financial planning would help.

    Possibly also the urban sprawl is a big issue. More green spaces would help in places with tolerable weather.

    More social and community groups would be advantageous, although I get the feeling if those were a good fix, they would already have been well-utilised.

    I think alienation happens partly as a person ages while losing their past friends but also because of deprivation in an area. Politicians probably don't have a big incentive to tackle such deprivation, because those areas tend not to vote as much. Giving more power to local authorities/politicians may help.

    Can't plan finances you don't have. Social welfare is going to be an increasing necessity.
