Ideas takes a look at housing and in particular so-called cohousing - a movement which began in Denmark in the 1960s with residents taking an active part in the design and operation of their own neighbourhoods. In cohousing communities private dwellings typically have all the features of a normal home but residents also have access to extensive communally-owned facilities and spaces.
We talk to Robin Allison, one of the founders of New Zealand's first purpose-built cohousing community - Waitakere's Earthsong; chair of the Nelson Tasman Housing Trust Keith Preston, and Seattle-based architect and board member of the Cohousing Association of America Grace Kim.
