Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves

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.McCamant, Kathryn M. is the author of 'Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves', published 1988 under ISBN 9780945929291 and ISBN 0945929293.
