Living together privately: for a cautious reading of cohousing

Francesco Chiodelli and Valeria Baglione

Urban Research & Practice, 2014, vol. 7, issue 1, 20-34

Abstract: The paper analyses cohousing as a part of the phenomenon of private residential communities. First, we provide an overview of cohousing and we identify its five constitutive characteristics. Second, we propose a comparison between the constitutive features of cohousing and of other kinds of private residential communities. Third, we argue that the interpretation of cohousing within the context of private residential communities raises some doubts about a completely positive interpretation of the phenomenon and about policies for promoting it.
