Neighborly Connection

Brands encourage neighborly interaction to combat urban loneliness

Trend – Sociability in neighborhoods is enhanced through products and services that promote relationships between those who live in proximity. At their core, the products and services that encourage individuals to engage and interact with one another, making for a more tightly knit neighborhood.

Insight - Albeit efficient and convenient, technology-driven communication can have an alienating effect in its straightforwardness. As a result, a sense of community becomes highly sought after, yet many find it difficult to approach others. Brands must facilitate the grounds for consumers to reconnect in their own environment. This, in turn, produces a humanizing effect and promotes a neighborhood community that is based on genuine connection.
Workshop Question - How can the products or services in your company bring people together?
Trend Themes
1. Enhancement of Neighborhood Sociability - Efficient technology-based communication can have an isolating effect, giving rise to perfect opportunities for brands to facilitate the grounds for consumers to reconnect in their own environment and promote community and genuine connections.
2. Sociable Home Projects - Alternative home projects such as balcony structures can connect neighbors and foster an active community in an urban environment where digital systems can have a systematic alienating effect.
3. Localized Community Initiatives - Localized initiatives such as social cooking kits and neighborly coffee gatherings provide ways for people to integrate themselves into the community, building stronger relationships with their neighbors, across all age groups but particularly for older adults.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Brands can facilitate genuine connections between individuals in the same neighborhood while making the real estate purchase more valuable.
2. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage industries can leverage localized initiatives such as social cooking kits and neighborly coffee gatherings to strengthen community connections and build stronger relationships with their target audience.
3. Sustainability and Clean Energy - Brands can build sustainable community concepts that promote circularity and energy sharing that is sustainable, while building stronger and better-connected communities.
