| Description: |
Amidst crisis and fragmentation, the need for sociable, practical and sustainable housing is manifest |
| Synopsis: |
Doesn't small mean less? Not necessarily. In an era of housing crises, environmental unsustainability and societal fragmentation, the need for more sociable, practical and sustainable housing proves increasingly vital. The answer? Shared living. Building upon the scholarship of E. F. Schumacher's Small is Beautiful and George McRobie's Small is Possible, Small is Necessary applies the economic and environmental analysis of the book's predecessors to housing. It concludes that low impact housing and shared resources would enhance our social, economic and natural environments. In examining the benefits and challenges of planning, design, financing and infrastructure in ecovillages and co-operatives, Nelson demonstrates that through sharing, stronger, more resilient communities, with tighter bonds of solidarity can be realised. |
