For the majority of my readers, we remember a time when community existed in the real world. We can blame digital technologies but what about housing architectures? Surprised? Read on.
This was such an interesting read. When I tell you, not once have I ever even thought to link architecture to this discussion, but every point you’ve made makes perfect sense. I think we can also see this in the way blocks of flats are very rarely built with garden spaces nowadays...instead several blocks are just stacked up against each other.
Thank you so so Chioma!!😊😊 Funnily enough, it was exactly that (flats without garden spaces) that got me thinking about this topic. Watched a docu-social experiment on how, IF a block has a garden of sorts, nobody uses it because it's /too communal/. Even with that, we'd prefer our own privacy. It'd be fun to a in-depth study on this someday!!

Again, what a great read!
