It is a very personal story of a collective endeavour, a heroic journey of despair and triumph, as the obstacles mount and success at times feels far from certain. Cohousing for Life is also a distillation of what has been learnt: from formulating an inspiring vision to community governance and decision making; from community design principles to participatory design processes; from legal and financial structures to reflections on power and leadership. Robin details the key elements and structures that were critical to achieving their goal, allowing a group of diverse individuals with ordinary lives and skills to work together over many years to create a large, innovative, housing development.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900325609708,"sku":"9780473515171","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780473515171-cohousing-for-life.jpg?v=1783399585"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/robin-allison.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
