　　Given the shortage of affordable housing across many parts of the world currently, the issue of town planning is a major issue for many people. Additionally, the nature of the modern world economy has led to a situation, some would say, where traditional communities are being sacrificed in the interests of sustained economic growth. There can be no better example of this than modern town planning.

　　Traditionally, a local community would revolve around a large area, within which various 　institutions and social stakeholders would be concentrated: shops, restaurants, community groups, religious organisations and community leaders to name but a few. Within these communities, a strong, close-knit sense of collective responsibility would ensure that the local amenities, services and environment were looked after with a sense of shared values.

　　This was commonly referred to as community spirit: an essential feature of community management.

　　In the modern world, however, the increasing sight of high rise buildings, shopping malls located away from residential areas and community leaders either detached from local residents, if not replaced altogether by global economic forces, have led to a situation where the traditional sense of local community has all but broken down. Shopping malls located on the outskirts of residential areas cannot generate the same sense of community spirit as shops located within residential areas, where shopkeepers and customers all had a stake in looking after their local area. Factors such as this have created a situation whereby traditional community spirit, as a way of looking after the local community, has vanished and fewer people care about the area in which they live.

　　In that sense, it is clear that modern town planning initiatives have failed to take into account the shared values that once characterised local communities, sacrificing social cohesion and common purpose as a result.
