Description

Creating Community-Led and Self-Build Homes: A Guide to Collaborative Practice in the UK by Martin Field. This book explores how communities across the UK are creating homes and neighbourhoods that reflect their needs. It examines the practices of self-build housing and community-led housing, highlighting commonalities and differences between them. The author draws on individual methods and models of local practice, including cohousing, cooperatives, and community land trusts. The book also considers what has constrained these initiatives in the past and how future policies and practices might be shaped. By examining successes and challenges from across Europe, Field provides a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and obstacles facing communities seeking to create more sustainable and equitable housing options.
