Around 1970, a new form of housing emerged in Denmark, which had community as its focal point. It was called housing association and has since been honored and disseminated internationally. Although it stands as an innovation for its time, the housing community draws threads back to a long tradition in Danish residential architecture, just as it has its counterpart in other cultures and eras. 'Housing communities - 1970 to today' addresses the renewed interest in life in a shared home, which is not least due to the great focus on sustainable living. It is a form of housing that can apparently both meet our individual needs and positively impact the societal and global challenges we face. In 'Housing associations', a number of experts in the field examine both past, present and future housing associations in Denmark. The book illuminates overall perspectives and dives into 20 selected housing communities from the past five decades.
