Abstract: Castlegreen Co-operative is an alternative housing development in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The booklet defines what is meant by a "co-operative" and gives reasons why today's co-operatives are an especially appropriate alternative to individual home ownership. The booklet sketches a future for co-operative enterprises, especially those that are likely to develop in relation to the service needs of the members of Castlegreen Co-operative. Some features of the building are discussed which accommodate families and individuals with a broad range of incomes, age groups, physical disabilities, and social backgrounds, and the mobility feature which supports this type of community. |
