Coop Conversations
by Cooperative Housing International
This podcast is about cooperative housing living and is presented by Co-operative Housing International, the global apex organization that unites cooperative housing. We have engaging conversations with people who live and/or work in cooperative housing, covering topics ranging from a group of friends living in a coop in harmony with its surrounding environment on a remote Japanese island to the implications of developing a coop on leased land in Canada and the UK. Since the cooperative housing model is so flexible, it can be adapted to accommodate many different needs and circumstances. Through these conversations, we aim to explore the unique benefits and challenges of this community-led form of housing. Sit back and enjoy!
