Unleashing the Transformative Power of Cohousing
In today's rapidly changing world, where social isolation and environmental degradation are rampant, the concept of cohousing offers a beacon of hope. Cohousing is a unique model of community living that fosters strong social connections, environmental sustainability, and a more fulfilling lifestyle.

With over 30 years of experience in cohousing design and development, Branham provides readers with an invaluable roadmap for creating thriving and sustainable cohousing communities.
Crafting a Vision for a Sustainable Future

The book provides practical tools and guidance on everything from site selection and architectural design to financial planning and community governance. Branham emphasizes the importance of crafting a shared vision and fostering a sense of ownership among all members of the community.
Building Community from the Ground Up
One of the defining characteristics of cohousing is its focus on strong social connections. "Creating Cohousing" explores the myriad ways in which communities can build a sense of belonging and support for all residents.
Branham highlights the importance of shared spaces, communal meals, and cooperative work to foster a vibrant community life. He also discusses the role of conflict resolution and consensus-based decision-making in maintaining harmony within the group.
