Abstract
Recent community-related research presents a growing body of evidence in support of the notion of a community without propinquity, a community of limited liability or a liberated community. Studies have shown that urbanites not only are involved in their own solidarity but are likely to be linked to others as well. The evidence documents the persistence of primary ties which are not restricted to a densely knit solidarity but form a spatially diverse network which transcends kin and neighborhood to encompass a wide range of relationships throughout the city and beyond.1
