In Episode 48  Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika interview Sophy Botsford, a 5th year architecture student at Oxford Brookes University, UK about her cohousing project. 

Sophy's project is about developing a series of intergenerational cohousing communities in Camden, London designed for the year 2050.  We discuss:

• The aims of the project: improve mental and physical health, develop a framework to make it easier for cohousing communities to be developed.
• The characteristics of her project: urban, intergenerational, sustainable, community input
• A holistic approach to planning for the future informed by the Arup 2050 Scenarios (link: https://www.arup.com/perspectives/publications/research/section/2050-scenarios-four-plausible-futures)
• The benefits of intergenerational living (reference: https://www.matterarchitecture.uk/research/intergenerational-housing/)
