We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn't seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In this book, the author suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, bookstores, churches, synagogues, and parks where crucial, sometimes life-saving connections, are formed. These are places where people gather and linger, making friends across group lines and strengthening the entire community. The author calls this the "social infrastructure": when it is strong, neighborhoods flourish; when it is neglected, as it has been in recent years, families and individuals must fend for themselves. The author takes us around the globe - from a floating school in Bangladesh to an arts incubator in Chicago, from a soccer pitch in Queens to an evangelical church in Houston - to show how social infrastructure is helping to solve some of our most pressing challenges: isolation, crime, education, addiction, political polarization, and even climate change. This book urges readers to acknowledge the crucial role these spaces play in civic life. Our social infrastructure could be the key to bridging our seemingly unbridgeable divides - and safeguarding democracy. -- $c Adapted from jacket description. 505 0 $a Introduction : The social infrastructure -- A place to gather -- Safe spaces -- Learning together -- Healthy bonds -- Common ground -- Ahead of the storm -- Conclusion : Before we lift the next shovel. 650 0 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $z United States. 650 0 $a City planning $z United States. 650 0 $a Public spaces $z United States. 650 0 $a Equality $z United States. 650 0 $a Quality of life $z United States. 650 6 $a Espaces publics $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a QualiteÌ de la vie $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Urban. $x Urban. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x City Planning & Urban Development. $x City Planning & Urban Development. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE $x Urban & Land Use Planning. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Public spaces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083049 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862177 650 7 $a Equality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973275 650 7 $a Quality of life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085009 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a OÌffentlicher Raum $2 gnd 650 7 $a OÌffentliche Einrichtung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kulturelle Einrichtung $2 gnd 650 7 $a BegegnungsstaÌtte $2 gnd 650 7 $a Infrastruktur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Raumstruktur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Raumordnung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Stadtplanung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Stadtsoziologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a City planning $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Equality $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Quality of life $z United States. $2 sears 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240129100926.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DF967E4BEAF11EEA36E4455183FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
