Twenty years after the first purpose-built cohousing development opened its doors in the UK, we gathered in London to celebrate our success so far and envision the future of the movement. Our event brought together practitioners from the US, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand to join cohousing residents, architects, developers, funders, and housing association staff. We now have over 25 cohousing neighbourhoods in the UK, with another 60 in the pipeline. All are innovating how neighbourhoods work and how we live together, and many are award-winning. With interest growing significantly for more inclusive, sustainable housing for people of all ages, we ask the question to our attendees – what is the vision for the next 20 years? The spirit of the event was to bring together practitioners, funders, and policymakers to promote conversations, confidence, and connections to build the cohousing movement for the years ahead. |
