Cohousing-L Mailing List: determinants of success

[Rodney Wilts (rodneywilts]

Dear Cohousers,
I am working on an innovative development project where the developer is 
interested in creating an environmentally friendly, and community friendly 
development. To this end we are looking at what elements make for a 
successful community. We're looking at both the hardware (built environment 
- e.g. front porches) and software (recreation programs, how to create 
community cohesion etc).
We are hoping to draw on the expertise of the intentional communities 
movement and implement things that have worked. I would appreciate any 
feedback as to what has made your community successful (or unsucessful).
Thanks,
Rodney Wilts
