- More about Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet
Small means less is a book that explores the benefits of shared living, such as more sociable, affordable, and sustainable housing, in an era of housing crises, environmental unsustainability, and social fragmentation. It showcases successful examples from various countries and argues that eco-collaborative housing can address social, economic, and sustainability challenges. Sharing living spaces and facilities leads to more amenities and opportunities for neighborly interaction, and small houses have low ecological footprints and offer governance techniques for a more equitable and sustainable future.

In the face of housing crises, environmental unsustainability, and social fragmentation, the demand for more sociable, affordable, and sustainable housing is paramount. The answer lies in shared living, encompassing various forms such as joint households, land-sharing, cohousing, and ecovillages. Through successful examples from across the globe, Anitra Nelson demonstrates how eco-collaborative housing, driven by residents and focused on low-impact living with shared facilities and activities, can effectively address the pressing social, economic, and sustainability challenges faced by householders and capitalist societies alike.
Sharing living spaces and facilities leads to increased amenities and opportunities for neighborly interaction. Small is Necessary showcases contemporary models of alternative housing and living, highlighting their outward-looking nature, cultural richness, low ecological footprints, and potential for governance techniques that promote equity and sustainability.
By embracing shared living, we can create more inclusive and resilient communities that foster social connection, reduce environmental impact, and pave the way for a more equitable and sustainable future.
