Everyone talks about the sharing economy, but not that many talk about cohousing, which is a shame because it is a great example of people working together, to consciously commit to living as a community. Guardian architectural critic Rowan Moore reviews a new London cohousing project, Copper Lane, and describes how it might have been a script for a reality show from hell, "a fusion of Big Brother, Changing Rooms and, for the bravado with which those involved seem to have taken on a possibly impossible task, The Apprentice."

CoHousing – A decades-old model in which residents buy modest-sized, separate homes in small, planned communities designed to have a light environmental footprint and emphasize community interaction. Communities usually include a separate building designated for gatherings and common use, often with a kitchen to facilitate shared meals; parking space is de-emphasized in favor of pedestrian-friendly layouts. About 130 such communities exist in the United States, according to the Cohousing Association of the United States (cohousing.org).
