Throughout history human beings have formed communities
spontaneously with residences constructed haphazardly. Today a new
type of community is emerging--one planned from the start regarding
housing location, style, and governance. These Community
Associations (CAs) have increased in number from 500 in 1960 to
205,000 in 1998. This book explores the issues surrounding this
housing innovation and provides a history of community associations
and their membership organization, the Community Associations
Institute (CAI).
The book explores the process of trial and error in the design
of CAs and how the CAI was set up to help them work. It opens with
a consideration of the economics of land, housing, and community
associations; explores the social, intellectual, legal background
for CAs; and surveys their development in the United States. After
considering the FHA's role, the book focuses on the development of
the CAI .
