    It has just as much to do with our increasing individualism, the decline of the communities and even the increased online contact.

Well, certainly I think that those are strong contributors, but I would say that for example, cities in the the Netherlands tend to be better structured for more social interaction. Yes, many individuals do ride bicycles, but one can still interact with others while on a bicycle. Not to mention that the excellent bus and rail systems are structured to accommodate bicycle riders.

Anyway, I'd be interested in reading more about this from an urban planning perspective, so I do hope you'll take some time to put something together.
