Cohousing Neighborhoods .... Some people call them a return to the best of small- town communities. Others say they are like a traditional village or the close-knit neighborhood where they grew up, while futurists call them an altogether new response to social, economic and environmental challenges of the 21st century. Each holds a piece of the truth. Cohousing is a concept that came to North America in 1988 from Denmark where it emerged over 25 years ago. It describes neighborhoods that combine the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living.
Residents usually own their individual homes, which are collected around a \ house\a
children's playroom, workshops, guest rooms, an arts and crafts area, a laundry and more. Each home is self-sufficient with a complete kitchen, but resident-cooked dinners are often available at the common house for those who wish to participate. In some communities participants will join a cooking team once or twice a month then sit and enjoy meals cooked by fellow residents the remaining evenings of that month.
Cohousing residents participate in the planning, design, ongoing management and maintenance of their community, meeting frequently to address each of the processes. Cohousing neighborhoods tend to offer environmentally sensitive design. They typically range from 10 to 35 households emphasizing a multi-generational mix of singles, couples, families with children, and elders.
In North America there have been over 40 communities completed since 1991 and
another 130 plus in various stages of development. The level of social interaction and shared
resources varies among communities. A cohousing development seems limited only by the imagination, desire and resources of the group of people who are actively creating their own neighborhood. Cohousing groups are based on democratic principles that support no ideology other than the desire for a more practical and social home environment. Cohousing proved personal privacy combined with the benefits of living in a
community where people know and interact with their neighbors. It's about living in a way
that's responsive to a world that has changed dramatically in the last fifty years a world in which home life has changed, women are integral in the labor force, resource limitations and environmental concerns are on the rise, and many people feel overextended.
Cohousing offers hope in our often dissociated society. By means of cohousing, we can build a better place to live in, a place where we know our neighbors, a place where we can
enjoy a rich sense of community and contribute to a more sustainable world. 46. According to the passage, the concept ofcohousing first appeared in __ A. North America B. Britain C. South America D. Denmark
