Abstract

Studies show that loneliness leads to illness. Yet, we live in an individualized society, which is also reflected in how we live and our homes. In this article, I analyze the transition from multi-generational homes to individualized living. I will show that especially persons in vulnerable situations depend on living within a community. Finally, I will present different models of living arrangements for the future, which focus on cooperation. I will examine if these living arrangements are suitable for persons in vulnerable situations.
