2020 | National Infrastructure Commissino

Originally published by the National Infrastructure Commission, Opportunities for Infrastructure Design to Combat Loneliness explores how infrastructure can work harder through good design. Written by Madeleine as part of the National Infrastructure Commission's Young Professionals Panel, the essay argues that everyday infrastructure, from stations and streets to flood defences and waste water, can create opportunities for people to meet, gather and get to know one another. It formed part of the panel's wider research into 'Generational Shift in Infrastructure'.
