The Rise of Co-Living: Creating intentional communities for personal growth and connection

Co-living provides a solution to the growing epidemic of loneliness by connecting people in spaces designed for community and personal growth. One model is subscription co-living, where organizations handle the logistics of housing and programming for digital nomads and remote workers. Another model is self-organized co-living, where groups of friends or like-minded individuals create intentional living communities with specific interests or goals. The key to successful co-living is a governing community intention that attracts the right individuals who share a common purpose. Different models and amenities, such as large kitchens, yoga studios, and communal spaces, create opportunities for connection and serendipity. Governance in co-living can vary, with some communities having clear owners or caretakers, while others rely on community norms and duocracy. While passports and regulations currently restrict global mobility, digitization and innovations in biometrics and AI offer potential solutions for more efficient and inclusive travel permissions.
