Description
Housing Co-operatives by John Hands is a timely and practical guide to creating alternative housing models. This revised edition provides a unique blend of theory and practice, drawing on international examples and the author's own experience in Britain.
Hands argues that a new tenure for housing is urgently needed, one that balances control and decision-making with community values and mutual aid. The par value housing co-operative offers residents the benefits of ownership without the risks of investment, promoting a sense of shared responsibility and neighbourhood pride.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the role of housing in society, offering a powerful mixture of common sense and idealism that can inform and inspire action.
