Segregation of sub-groups and \"incivilities\" can lead to reduced social connectedness and wellbeing. Wider multicultural engagement over time, may be beneficial for social cohesion. Evidence suggests that sufficient facilitation through facilities and services improve social relations and wellbeing and create more cohesive communities. A particular focus is needed on potential minorities within otherwise cohesive communities.Conclusion: Social cohesion relates to community resilience and the experience of social connectedness at community level.
