Collaborative Happiness

More about the book

Focusing on urban cohousing communities, this book explores Kankanmori in Tokyo and Quayside Village in Vancouver as models for social and subjective wellbeing. It challenges conventional notions of happiness that prioritize individualism, presenting these communities as innovative alternatives that promote collaborative living. By examining how these diverse groups foster a sense of community, the book highlights their potential to address the crises of social and environmental sustainability in an increasingly urbanized world.
