Across Europe, the number of co-housing initiatives is growing, and
they are increasingly receiving attention from administrators and
professionals who hold high expectations for urban liveability. Is
co-housing a marginal idealist phenomenon, or the urban middle
class' answer to the current housing crisis? And has the
development of theoretical insight and research kept up with the
actual expansion of co-housing as a practice? These questions were
raised during the first European conference on co-housing research,
which took place in Tours, France, in March 2012. Both the
conference and this book aim to move beyond case-studies, and to
look more particularly at the implications and wider perspective of
the current co-housing trend. Using the specific vocabulary of
different disciplines and geographic regions, the contributions to
this book analyse the underlying thinking behind, and the
expectations projected on, diverse models of collaborative housing.
The authors are aware of the qualities of contemporary co-housing,
but they go beyond advocacy to investigate the conditions under
which co-housing can be successful as a strategy for housing
provision; can offer solutions for sustainable urban development;
or indeed can contribute to involuntary or intentional
gentrification. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Urban Research and Practice.
