I recommend Sophie Yarker's Creating Spaces for an Ageing Society: The Role of Critical Social Infrastructure. It highlights the critical importance of social infrastructure - coffee shops, libraries, post offices, schools, local cinemas, luncheon clubs, parks, community and voluntary organisations, places of worship, senior centres - in promoting the development and maintenance of social connections as we grow older -- Dr Tine Buffel, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, The University of Manchester
