Cohousing-L Mailing List: What's In A Name

[Harry Pasternak (Harry_Pasternak]

Here are the names that developed in other countries for the kind of
neighborhoods we are discussing here in this forum.

The Danes which started to build these neighborhoods in 1972, call
them-bofaellesskaber, the english translation is cohousing.

Dutch call them centraal wonen, while the Swedes call them kollektivhus.

Canadians which built its first in the early 1960's call it their
neighborhood.

Here's a few more to throw into the brainstorming pot:

- socially comfortable neighborhoods.
- social networking neighborhoods.
