An urban village : sustainable and socially-cohesive housing in town

2015-03-26 26

Hanissa and her partner have decided to live in a collectivity by joining an urban intergenerational socially-cohesive village. For a long time, they had the dream of integrating a cluster of homes project. They already had experimented flat-sharing home, but they wanted to go beyond the beaten path. Their dream came true when they found the “eco-habitons” association which set up that kind of project in Montpellier and around. The association’s principles match with their values and life project. It means age diversity, houses built with ecological and low energy materials and a common place for each home.
