This book presents 50 case studies of contemporary co-housing
projects spread all over the world to show how communities of
shared living have become a global phenomenon that can serve as a
tool to promote social and urban sustainability. By presenting
evidence that shared housing experiences are capable of
revitalizing sterile urban fabrics and promoting social sustainable
practices, the volume situates co-housing experiences as microscale
responses to the macroscale challenges posed by environmental
degradation and the decline of communitarian ways of living. The
volume also reviews the most famous typologies of shared living in
different parts of the world across human history. By analyzing
historical experiences in different regions of Africa, Americas,
Asia, Europe and Oceania, the author shows that living together is
part of a historical culture of sharing that is being rediscovered
all over the world by people who activate public spaces, work in
shared offices or live in contractual communities. The Co-Housing
Phenomenon - Environmental Alliance in Times of Changes will be of
interest to both professionals and scholars involved in urban
design, urban planning and architecture, especially those in the
field of sustainable urbanism. It will also be a valuable resource
for public agents and civil society organizations dealing with
housing, social, environmental and sustainability policies.
