An afternoon reception held at NESTA to hear how cohousing is offering greater choice in housing provision for older people in America and to discuss how this could be scaled in the UK.
Cohousing is a new vision of living in later life, which offers new ways to keep people active, engaged and contributing in their community for longer. Early evidence suggests that it is an effective way to deliver better outcomes, often for less money.
The event featured contributions from Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant who have pioneered cohousing in America and Sarah Berger and Mark Westcombe from the UK Cohousing Network.
