Does small mean less? Not necessarily. In an era of housing crises,
environmental unsustainability and social fragmentation, the need for
more sociable, affordable and sustainable housing is vital. The
answer? Shared living - from joint households to land-sharing,
cohousing and ecovillages.
Using successful examples from a range of countries, Anitra Nelson
shows how 'eco-collaborative housing' - resident-driven low impact
living with shared facilities and activities - can address the great
social, economic and sustainability challenges that householders and
capitalist societies face today. Sharing living spaces and facilities
results in householders having more amenities and opportunities for
neighbourly interaction.
Small is Necessary places contemporary models of 'alternative' housing
and living at centre stage arguing that they are outward-looking,
culturally rich, with low ecological footprints and offer governance
techniques for a more equitable and sustainable future.
