Cohousing began in Scandinavia in the 1960's as a response to the alienation of typical suburban communities, where you don't know your neighbor, nor can rely on their assistance—not even for a cup of sugar. Cohousing spread to the United States in the 1980's and there are now several hundred such communities throughout the country in more than 30 States and it continues to grow quickly. Reinventing Community is a collection of first hand experiences from inside these unique neighborhoods, offering a glimpse at the personalities and dynamic that make them work.
