Since the s, or even before, new ways of living have seen the light in Europe and gradually spread to other continents. Collective housing, cohousing, mini- communities, bofælleskab, centraal wonen, gemeinschaftliches wohnen – a variety of new words are now in use to describe the many different models and types of housing that exist. Over the last three decades and more, I have, as a member of the research group Bo i Gemenskap (Live in Community), visited many cohousing projects in Sweden, the rest of Europe and Japan. Almost everyone we met was satisfied, in fact very satisfied, with her/his way of living. But people would also tell me about the general lack of interest and ignorance surrounding the developments, e.g. among neighbours, planners, architects, politicians and developers. This, however, seemed not to weaken their conviction that collaborative ways of living are bound to belong to the future. They saw many good reasons in the advantages of such living; a sense of community, the potential for economizing with resources, the value of resident cooperation and of learning together. Why then are we not seeing a dynamic growth in public interest and in the creation of new projects? Why all the obstacles in the way for these good ideas to be implemented? And why are there still so few people who know of the existence of such alternatives to living in a villa or a conventional apartment? In during a visit to the USA, I participated in a roundtrip in the San Francisco area, arranged by the Cohousing Association of the United States. I also spent some time in the Swan’s Market cohousing in Oakland and visited a number of projects together with Joani Blank and Dorit Fromm (thanks to you two). The tour inspired me to reflect over the value of an international conference. I contacted the chair of the Swedish cohousing organisation Kollektivhus NU, and he responded with great enthusiasm. He presented the idea to the board of the organisation, which decided to plan for a cohousing conference. A long period of enjoyable and hard work was started, to prepare for the first international conference on collaborative housing, to be held in Stockholm in May . 7 Kollektivhuskonf2010:Layout 1 10-09-08 00.50 Sida 8 Kerstin Kärnekull, one of the speakers at the conference and member of the conference working group. We had moments of doubt that the conference would ever become a reality. Economic crises, health problems of key individuals, important UN events drawing a keynote speaker from our program, and volcanoes spreading clouds of ashes over Europe, brought new obstacles to our work. Fortunately, the excellent support we were given by the Division of Urban and Regional Studies of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), by the research council FORMAS and by a number of sponsors (see publisher’s page of this volume) made it possible to move on. The conference could hardly have been implemented were it not for the support given by volunteers from cohousing developments all over Sweden. Equally important was the support from all those who agreed to act as chairpersons and secretaries in the workshops, and who had to prepare these in advance of the conference. Of the conference participants, close to persons offered their labour in voluntary activities. Without the strength and enthusiasm of these people, we would not have been able

  • Table of Contents
    Introduction In Creating a Life Together, Diana Leafe Christian estimates that 90 percent of attempts to start an intentional community do not survive past the initial stages. Similarly, many personal searches for intentional community fizzle out due to lack of adequate information, guidance, or exposure to fellow travelers’ stories. In both cases, ignorance of the wide array of options possible, and of the breadth of resources and support available through the Fellowship for Intentional Community and allied groups, undoubtedly contributes to the “failure” rate. This volume on “Starting a Community” and the next volume in this series, on “Finding a Community,” address the need for one-stop collections of stories to help founders and seekers. They are meant to complement the Communities Directory (available in print and online: ic.org/directory), COMMUNITIES magazine, a quarterly publication focused on Life in Cooperative Culture, and educational resources available through Community Bookstore (ic.org/bookstore). These books should broaden anyone’s outlook on what is possible and how to pursue their dreams of community. Within each section we hear from a range of voices spanning a great diversity of perspectives and experiences. In this volume, following more general “overview” articles, we dive into on-the-ground stories from founders, arranged roughly chronologically, followed by a separate roughly chronological flow about experiences of community that don’t fit the classic intentional community definition but are nonetheless powerful for their creators and participants. Most articles are drawn from the past decade of COMMUNITIES magazine, with several excerpted from the Communities Directory and a few from older issues of COMMUNITIES that were also excerpted in our Best of collections, Volumes I and II.

Little wonder he knows his way around the track. He began his training career in 1978 and got his first taste of racing before it was time for his Bar Mitzvah. “I used to go to the track when I was a kid with my dad and that’s how I got started,” Lewis said. “I was fascinated by horse racing. I would go to Caliente on weekends with my brother. I was nine and he was 10. We were betting quarters with bookmakers and just kind of got swept up by it all.” More than half a century later, the broom still has bristles, thanks in small part to Lewis’ affiliation early on with legendary trainer Hirsch Jacobs, whose remarkable achievements have faded into racing’s Graded stakes winner Za Approval, Lee Vickers up, trots by Clement on the way to the track hinterlands over time.

Creasap 2014 iii SWEDEN ENDS HERE? SOCIAL MOVEMENT SCENES AND THE RIGHT TO THE CITY Kimberly A. Creasap, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 This study examines social movement scenes—dynamic constellations of people and places— created by Swedish autonomous movements. Social movement scenes shape action, interpersonal dynamics among activists, and how activists see possibilities for social change. Autonomous movements reject representative democracy as a form of authority and, by extension, reject state institutions. This represents a radical departure from strict norms that characterize political and public life in Sweden in which political participation generally takes the form of party membership and/or activity with trade unions with strong ties to the state. Through ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews and analysis of artifacts such as newspapers, zines, flyers, and manifestos, I examine how and why Swedish autonomous social movements use “the Right to the City” as an organizing principle to create scenes as alternative forms of urban life in Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö.
