The Cohousing Handbook offers a wealth of information and practical hints on how to build a cohousing community. Every element that goes into the creation of such a project, including group process, design considerations, finance and budgets, land acquisition, permits, construction, and professional resources, is covered thoroughly. The authors are pioneers in the development of cohousing in North America and have an enormous amount of experience that makes their realistic advice invaluable. In addition to development support, they do an excellent job of conveying the environmental and social benefits of cohousing.
