Social cohesion
From Sustainable Community Action
"There are striking variations in health across different areas of the UK and what is clear is that not only physical aspects of the area, like pollution, affect health, but also things like the level of trust, tolerance and the level of social cohesion." Sir Michael Marmot
Social cohesion is a state in society in which the vast majority of citizens respect the law, one another's human rights and values, and share a commitment to retain social order.

- New Start editorial May 2 2007 A few weeks ago I was talking with a regeneration practitioner from Burnley, and I asked about the council’s work on community cohesion.
