Co-housing is growing in popularity across the world, offering a more sustainable way of living that provides a sense of community.

Unlike communal living, there are separate, fully kitted out households with a series of shared spaces, amenities and tasks.

Harriet catches up with Hannah Schickedanz, who, along with her family, is part of a new co-housing project for Wellington, NZ, called Urban Habitat Collective.

Hannah talks about the green aspects of co-housing, how the planning process is working, the details of co-housing, including cost, what's shared or not, what the system will be when the residents move in and all the benefits of living in such a tight-knit community.
