The Vanishing Neighbor by Marc J. Dunkelman
The Transformation of American Community
The book traces the erosion of everyday neighborly ties in American communities over recent decades, documenting how increased mobility, suburban design, changing work patterns, privacy norms, and the decline of shared public spaces have turned once-interconnected neighborhoods into places of anonymity and weakened social support. It examines the social and civic consequences—greater isolation, reduced mutual aid, and lower local engagement—and explores how planning, policy, and grassroots efforts might rebuild more resilient, sociable neighborhoods.
