Cooperative Housing International (CHI) is pleased to have contributed to the latest issue of COOP Dialogue titled “Cooperative Housing: Bridging the Urban Divide.”  Published by the International Cooperative Alliance Asia and Pacific (ICA-AP), this edition explores how housing cooperatives are offering practical, people-centered responses to growing urban challenges around the globe.

The issue includes:

• A global overview of cooperative housing’s impact

• Stories and insights from India, Japan, Jordan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Europe

• Policy insights, grassroots strategies, and stories of resilience in the face of crisis

We’re proud to have contributed to this edition and to the ongoing effort to show how cooperatives can help build more sustainable and community-led cities. The publication reinforces what CHI and its members have long advocated: that cooperative housing can play a transformative role in shaping cities that are community-led. Furthermore, cooperative housing isn’t a fringe solution—it’s a tested, people-centered model for building cities rooted in solidarity and collective responsibility.
