Cohousing Research and Education

http://www.grahammeltzer.com/cohousing/



According to the site, "cohousing is a new type of cooperative housing first developed (in the 1970s) in Denmark and the Netherlands. It spread rapidly to other Northern European countries and more recently (in the 1990s) has taken root in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Cohousing integrates autonomous private dwellings with shared utilities and recreational facilities such as kitchens, dining halls, workshops and children's play facilities". Graham Meltzer's Cohousing Research and Education site contains research data and articles on the sustainability advantages of cohousing, accompanying his book 'Sustainable Community: Learning from the cohousing model'. As well as including information about the book (such as content details, excerpts and reviews), the site is an interesting resource in its own right. Features include a related articles, information about the PhD on which the book is loosely based, and an extensive collection of cohousing photographs and site plans. [GAS, 16 Sep 2006].
