Collaborative Housing: A tool for social integration and increased sustainability
All over the world there is a shortage of adequate, affordable housing that enables social integration and sustainability.

In addition, recent examples of collaborative housing in Denmark and the Netherlands have been studied. A concluding workshop with different stakeholders in order to receive feedback to the preliminary findings has been conducted.This Building Issue highlights the concept of collaborative housing, as a housing form where residents collaborate within different stages of the project – from design to daily self-management of the building, agree on a common purpose and have social interaction among themselves. Collaborative housing can contribute to addressing several aspects related to social sustainability and social integration. Common spaces in a ...
