Cohousing is an approach to creating a community. Often referred to as an intentional community, it really is just that - people living in a way that they themselves have intentionally designed. Cohousing is people coming together to build a neighborhood that embodies particular values. These values are generally linked to a shared vision for living in a certain way. More often than not the values are around living in a way that increases connectivity, the spirit of looking out for one another and in a way that is environmentally-conscious.
