Building the Neighbourhoods We Need: Chuck Durrett's UK Cohousing Tour

Charles Durrett

This paper by the UK Cohousing Network  puts the spotlight on the pioneering American architect and cohousing guru, Charles ‘Chuck’ Durrett, and his recent visit to England. 

Drawing on his experience of designing over 55 cohousing communities in the USA and lessons learned, the paper covers his tour of England and Wales, the regional events held and schemes visited and provides a useful reminder of the core values that underpin cohousing in the UK.
