Urbanisation is often held to be responsible for social disorder and alienation. In fact, the stresses experienced in the process of urbanisation can produce both a breakdown and/or a reinforcement of patterns of social association. Many scholars have discarded the term 'alienation' because of its multiplicity of meanings, but I believe that when the word is defined in terms of social network 'density' there is considerable utility for social scientific interpretation. Even in relatively similar urban communities, small differences in network density have important manifestations in the types of response to urbanisation
