We’re all in this together. Investigating the role of cohousing in addressing affordability and living conditions in Australia

Michi explores cohousing’s potential to foster community, sustainability, and affordability through shared resources, participatory decision-making, environmentally conscious design, and how cohousing, as an alternative housing model, can provide solutions to the country’s housing crisis.

Michi includes case studies of existing cohousing communities to illustrate these benefits and examines the legal, financial, and governance structures that support successful cohousing developments.

She uses her analysis of exemplar cohousing communities across Australia to develop a cohousing framework planning tool for architects and designers.
