Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Village Homes

[Hans Tilstra (tilstra]

I first read about Davis, CA's Village Homes in the Millennium Whole Earth
Catalog.  Recently I came across J.Corbett, M. Corbett's (2000) "Designing
Sustainable Communities- Learning from Village Homes" Island Press:
Washington DC (Dewey 307.1216 COR-D), which provides greater detail about
specific features making the Village Homes successful.

I'm convinced many aspects match cohousing culture! The book details the
inner workings of a beautiful & sustainable natural drainage system system,
the nuts & bolts of the narrow streets, the greenways, the sense of
community, energy conservation and "neighbourhood agriculture".
