Toward Non-Speculative Housing

Collective housing comes in a huge variety of forms.  At its heart collective housing looks at different ways to design, build, finance, and live in our homes.  This different way of doing things tends to prioritise community, well-being, cultural expression, sustainability, and other values-based concepts over profit and economic considerations.   

How can we get government, councils, banks, philanthroptists, developers and the construction industry to collaborate to create housing that supports the well being of residents, communities and the environment?

However, no matter how noble the purpose, the requirements of the capitalist system in which we live are still at play.  Things need to be paid for, risks are run and profits (and losses) are made. 

Cohohui3 is an invitation to join a diverse group of innovators, future residents, project leads, professionals, industry leaders, and public servants who are passionate about working together to drive the evolution of collective housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.

If you are interested in papakāinga, cohousing, cooperative housing, community land trusts, or housing innovation in general, this event is for you!
