Presents reports on 8 different cohousing communities in Denmark, gives a brief history on the development of the current cohousing concept, provides useful steps in creating such a community, describes 6 communities in the US, and summarizes with lessons they have learned as thoughts for the future. Communities have been built in rural & urban areas; as separate homes, apartment buildings, high rises, or warehouse remodels. There is variation in what is required of members, the amount of participation and interactions. One distinguishing characteristic is that the communities are self-governing, in contrast to a development that may have some of the same energy efficient designs but is planned by developers other than the residents. The contract allows a homeowner to recoup their investment, should they choose to move. Often there is a common house, with shared meals at least 1x/wk. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A movement that began in Europe has taken hold in North America because it provides some real answers for the increasing number of people who stop to look at where and how they live and at their impact on the environment. Cohousing is a way for a group of people to work together to develop places to live that offer both privacy and community with the values of an old-fashioned neighborhood-safety, independence, mutual concern. Many of these new ventures are up and running and many more are in the planning stages. Delivering more bang for the buck, this innovative approach to housing is challenging the formidable housing problems we face, and it is succeeding.
