Topics for Discussion
As loneliness emerges as a critical public health and societal issue, our research points to the powerful role that physical space plays in shaping human connection.
From restaurants and offices to public squares and residential complexes, the way we design and manage our environments has a profound influence on whether people feel isolated — or connected.
This webinar explores the opportunity for leaders in sectors including hospitality, real estate, architecture, and urban planning to respond to loneliness not only as a social issue, but as a strategic design challenge.
Grounded in insights from the Business vs. Loneliness report, the session will examine how shared spaces can be reimagined to foster inclusion, trust, and a sense of belonging—while also supporting business goals such as customer loyalty, footfall, and community engagement.
With input from leading experts and workshop-style breakout sessions, the 90-minute online Zoom webinar will unpack:
Why the built environment matters in tackling loneliness — and what’s at stake
How space influences experiences of both social connection and positive solitude
Real-world examples of spaces intentionally designed to reduce isolation
How the Loneliness Change Compass can guide place-based business interventions
First steps companies can take to begin making a difference
