Le cohabitat : une démarche humaniste et écologique. Vivre seul tout en profitant d'avantages collectifs
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 neighbourhood 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 neighbourhoods that combine the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living. Cohousing communities balance the traditional advantages of home ownership with the benefits of shared common facilities and ongoing connections with your neighbors. These cooperative neighborhoods are one of the most promising solutions to many of today's most challenging social and environmental concerns. If you are new to the cohousing concept, take a look at What is Cohousing? and our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) of interest.
The Cohousing Resources - Cohousing started in Denmark in the early seventies when dual income professionals were searching for better daycare and a safer neighborhood. It has matured into a intergenerational mix of family types, attractive to young families, single parents, as well as retired couples and singles. Nearly 200 projects have been completed in Denmark since the first was finished in 1972. More than 20 have been built in North America since 1991, and more than 150 groups are meeting regularly trying to make their projects happen. http://www.cohousingresources.com/ Cohousing communities are old-fashioned neighborhoods created with a little ingenuity. They bring together the value of private homes with the benefits of more sustainable living. That means common facilities and good connections with neighbors.

The Canadian Cohousing Network (CCN) was formed in 1992 in British Columbia, Canada. It is a registered non-profit organization that promotes the creation of cohousing communities as a model for sustainable development by raising public awareness about cohousing and by bringing people together to form communities. The most valuable function of the CCN is making connections with people who are interested in living in a cohousing community. The Cohousing Network USA Living organically - Cohousing and Ecovillages

In 'Cohousing:
a Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves' by Kathryn McCamant and
Charles Durrett, the authors write that there are over 125 such
Cohousing ('bofaellesskaber') communities in Denmark, ranging in size
from six to 80 households. The authors have helped set up similar
schemes in the States (see below). Here is a summary from the authors'
description of the Trudeslund Community where they spent six months:
