Social cohesion

Social Value and Design of the Built Environment, published by the Supply Chain Sustainability School in 2017, suggests that social cohesion is: ‘…the ‘glue’ or ‘bonds’ that keep societies integrated; academically defined as the belief held by citizens of a given nation-state that they share a moral community, which enables them to trust each other.’
