中国社会经历了巨大的结构性变迁，其中最大的变迁当属城市化。城市中国时代，一种“中年孤独”的现象开始蔓延。在大城市里生活的中年群体，面临的育儿、养老、职业、婚姻、社交、健康等结构性压力逐渐演变为心理感知层面的“中年孤独”。研究发现，中年孤独根植于都市性、内卷化与个体化社会的交叠：职场上缺乏同事信任、婚姻上呈现懈怠感、社交网络趋于收缩、代际之间沟通减少、精神层面陷于内耗，导致身心压力增大等状态。中年孤独的深度蔓延会引发多重社会后果，诸如中年抑郁，加剧中年危机，甚至导致令人担忧的中年非正常死亡现象。基于此，本文提出建设中年友好型城市的建设路径，主张从制度保障、优化环境、社会氛围和心理健康四个维度构建系统性缓解机制，将中年群体身心健康纳入城市高质量发展与“投资于人”政策框架，为回应城市社会结构性困境提供新的治理视角。

China has undergone profound structural transformations, among which urbanization stands out as the most significant. In the era of urban China, a phenomenon of "midlife loneliness" has begun to spread. Middle-aged groups living in large cities face structural pressures in areas such as childcare, elderly care, career, marriage, social interaction, and health, which gradually translate into a perceived sense of "midlife loneliness." Research finds that midlife loneliness is rooted in the intersection of urbanity, involution, and individualization: manifested in a lack of collegial trust in the workplace, marital slackness, shrinking social networks, reduced intergenerational communication, mental exhaustion, and increased physical and psychological stress. The deep proliferation of midlife loneliness can trigger multiple social consequences, such as midlife depression, exacerbation of midlife crises, and even alarming cases of premature death among middle-aged individuals. Accordingly, this paper proposes a path toward building midlife-friendly cities, advocating for a systematic alleviation mechanism from four dimensions—institutional safeguards, environmental optimization, social atmosphere, and mental health—and calls for integrating the physical and mental well-being of middle-aged populations into the policy framework of high-quality urban development and "investing in people," thereby offering a new governance perspective for addressing the structural predicaments of urban society.
