This book investigates co-housing as an alternative housing form in
relation to sustainable urban development. Co-housing is often
lauded as a more sustainable way of living. The primary aim of this
book is to critically explore co-housing in the context of wider
social, economic, political and environmental developments. This
volume fills a gap in the literature by contextualising co-housing
and related housing forms. With focus on Denmark, Sweden, Hamburg
and Barcelona, the book presents general analyses of co-housing in
these contexts and provides specific discussions of co-housing in
relation to local government, urban activism, family life, spatial
logics and socio-ecology. This book will be of interest to students
and researchers in a broad range of social-scientific fields
concerned with housing, urban development and sustainability, as
well as to planners, decision-makers and activists.

This book explores the multiple histories of critical geography as
it developed in 14 different locations around the globe, whilst
bringing together a range of approaches in critical geography. It
is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive account of a wide
variety of historical geographies of critical geography from around
the world. Accordingly, the chapters provide accounts of the
development of critical approaches in geography from beyond the
hegemonic Anglo-American metropoles. Bringing together geographers
from a wide range of regional and intellectual milieus, this volume
provides a critical overview that is international and illustrates
the interactions (or lack thereof) between different critical
geographers, working across a range of spaces. The chapters provide
a more nuanced history of critical geography, suggesting that while
there were sometimes strong connections with Anglo-American
critical geography, there were also deeply independent developments
that were part of the construction of very different kinds of
critical geography in different parts of the world. Placing
Critical Geographies provides an excellent companion to existing
histories of critical geography and will be important reading for
researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students of the
history and philosophy of geography.

This open access book is about socio-spatial theory in, and the
nature of, Nordic geography. From both historical and contemporary
perspectives, the book engages with theorisations of geography in
the Nordic countries. Including chapters by geographers from
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, it reflects how
theories about the relations between the social and the spatial
have been developed, adopted and critiqued in Nordic human
geography in relation to a wide range of themes, concepts and
approaches. The book also traces institutional developments,
distinct geographical traditions and intellectual histories, as
well as authors' own experiences as geographers in and beyond the
Nordic area. The chapters together introduce and engage with
debates and discussions that permeate Nordic geography and allows
readers a glimpse of geographical thinking and the role of
socio-spatial theory in the Nordic countries. By providing insights
into how geographical ideas emerge, travel and are translated and
adapted in specific contexts, the book contributes to debates about
historical-geographical situatedness and theorisations of
geography.
