Cover Story: Social capital is perceived as key for sustainable social development, but little is known about how it could be generated. Using a repeated measure of neighbourhood social capital, this study explores how social capital changes over time in urban and rural areas, as well as exploring the factors influencing its development. Higher levels of neighbourhood social capital were associated with sociodemographic factors rather than socioeconomic factors. The proportion of single-parent households as well as households with older pensioners, children under 12, and foreign-born members in the neighbourhood influenced its level of social capital. Local policies to promote social capital for sustainable social development should strive to integrate diverse demographic groups, and increase opportunities for inter-ethnic interactions.
