A connection with others and showing concern for each other's well-being is how most would define what it means to be a caring person. That's what a new study's authors also believe. They shared a few ways we often express care for others:

• Helping an older adult cross the street
• Volunteering or working for a socially conscious company

What Does it Mean to Be a Caring City?

A caring city embodies that same kind of commitment to the well-being of its residents, fostering a sense of community and inclusivity. A caring city prioritizes social cohesion, values diversity, and actively addresses the needs of the community's vulnerable populations.

Big investments in accessible healthcare, education, and social services, because a caring city strives to create an environment where everyone can thrive.

A caring city's urban planning emphasizes green spaces, promoting mental and physical health and a harmonious relationship between the urban landscape and the natural world.

A caring city encourages civic engagement, giving residents ample opportunities to participate in decision-making processes.

Ultimately, I think a caring city is characterized by empathy, compassion, and a collective responsibility to create a nurturing, supportive, and equitable community for all residents.
