Actar Publishers

Barcelona offers a fine example of a cooperative housing model based on leaseholds. This book brings together examples of projects using this model which have been built or are under construction. It explains how the cohousing process is managed through architecture, urban planning, finance, legal perspectives and sustainability, and takes an in-depth look at the experience of living in a community, nourished by cooperative spirit.


Practical case studies are explained by members of cooperatives, experts and designers who look at aspects of design, sustainability, construction and urban life. This is a tool for understanding the design and construction of cohousing and the community life that goes on there.
