In general, people do not have such a close relationship with their neighbours as they did in the past why is this so, and what can be done to improve contact between neighbours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nowadays, most people are busy with their job, family and own affairs. So, they do not have adequate time to contact their neighbours. For instance, there are some couples that both of them are working out of home all day and come back to home at night. As a result, they do not have additional time to contact neighbours. On the other hand, due to overcrowding in most of big cities, numerous people live in a building typically and thus, some people might not be able to visit all their neighbours in a building. For example, some ones may have lives in a building for many years but still do not know the names of all their neighbours. Hence, most buildings which populated with many people, the neighbours scarcely able to contact each others. Moreover, today, some people do not stay constantly in a building for a long time and frequently move to other place. For Example, some people rent a flat for one year and next year, they should move to other place. Consequently, neighbours would not be able to visit each others.
I personally believe that, there are several solutions to improve relationship between neighbours. A good idea is to encourage people to meet their neighbours in leisure time, For instance, the neighbours could invite each others to a public party. Therefore, they would get to know each other better. Another option is to arrange some sport matches or entertainment programs for neighbours. For example, the neighbours could play in district sport competition at weekend. This would lead to make friends with the neighbours. Another possibility is to provide social network websites for each district. For instance, people could join to this websites and then find other people that they live in the same district. This would help them to know more about their neighbours and using this way, they could contact each other easily.
