This project aims to develop public policies that mitigate the adverse health effects of isolation and loneliness, leveraging the understanding that both social isolation and loneliness detrimentally impact mental and physical well-being. By integrating these principles into land use, housing policies, and community planning, the project seeks to inform programs aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness.
