The fastest growing housing market today is in green construction and sustainable systems. The greatest social demand is for community. Developing Sustainable Communities uses the model of cohousing communities as example for developing sustainable neighborhoods. Cohousing recreates the neighborhoods our parents grew up in and provides nurturing environments for children. This book is designed to encourage and help real estate developers create sustainable neighborhoods. It includes budgets, floor plans, site plans, and examples of the green features of each community, as well as profiles of the award-winning developers who created these communities.
