What’s on the Community Lost or Saved poster
A 3-row table: Position · Claim · Evidence cited.
Wellman's three positions on community in the city.
- Community lost — Ties weakened by urban life — Anonymity, mobility
- Community saved — Dense local ties persist — Urban village studies
- Community liberated — Ties dispersed, not lost — Network analysis
Network studies mostly support the liberated position: strong ties survive but are no longer bound to the neighbourhood.

- Who is the Community Lost or Saved poster for?
- Community Lost or Saved belongs to the Sociology section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning urban sociology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Community Lost or Saved poster?
- When urban life is described as isolating without asking what replaced the village. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Community Lost or Saved belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

- What size does the Community Lost or Saved poster print at?
- Community Lost or Saved is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Community Lost or Saved loses nothing.Printing guide
