Having dedicated the past four years to building Allihoop, a leading coliving company that has grown to become one of the largest in the Nordics, I wanted to share some learnings, in a series of posts. Starting with, the importance of empowering residents to organize events in coliving spaces. There are two main approaches: ⬇️Top-down: where the operator organizes all events and activities. ⬆️Bottom-up: where members organize for each other, role of the operator here is to give residents tools and incentive to do so. After many iterations mixing both, I became a firm advocate for the bottom-up approach. Here's why: 🤝Reciprocity When peers organize events, it fosters a sense of give-and-take within the community, encouraging others to contribute. 💰Cost When your ambition is to have a lot of events and activities, hiring people to organize and host all of them becomes expensive. 🌱Self-development encouraging members to organize activities pushes some to the edge of their comfort zone, promoting personal growth. 🙋Attendance Events organized by members often see higher attendance rates and more natural word-of-mouth promotion. 👩🏾🤝👨🏼Belonging Creating experiences for others is fulfilling, and increases our sense of belonging to the group How have we approached this? Community builder program: A dedicated group of volunteer residents who encourage others to create and organize. Onboarding: Every check-in gets a welcome tour, intros & welcome dinner, and throughout this process they are encouraged to initiate activities based on their skills/interests. Tech: We built an app for facilitating social interaction in real life, where members can organize events, communicate in channels, form interest groups, get matched with likeminded neighbors and more. Results? Out of 4 buildings in Stockholm with a total of 400 members: → 70+ events organized every month → 800+ monthly event participants → 5 Meaningful Connections Made per resident on average (MCM is our main KPI for resident experience) I’m happy with these results so far, but still a lot of improvements to make so aiming higher. Interested to hear your thoughts! Found great inspiration and practical advice for some of the above approaches in the Coliving Facilitation Handbook by Conscious Coliving, Naima von Ritter Figueres Matt Lesniak and the Art of Coliving book by Artof.Co, Gui Perdrix. Thanks for these valuable resources! #Coliving #Community #Events #Housing #Innovation

Is anyone else scratching their head at the sudden surge of "coliving experts" who’ve never actually run a coliving business? 🙄 Let’s get real for a moment. Visiting coliving spaces doesn’t make you an expert in building and managing them. It’s like claiming you’re a pro football coach because you’ve watched a lot of games. Watching and doing are worlds apart! Running a successful coliving business involves a deep understanding of community dynamics and fostering meaningful connections, as well as much less fun stuff like managing operational challenges, recruitment and training, finances, property management, b2c marketing, administrative knowledge, people psychology, just to name a few. So, whenever you see someone touting their “expertise,” (no matter on what topic by the way) ask yourself: Have they walked the walk, or just talked the talk? While I love that so many people are willingly shedding a spotlight on an industry so close to my heart, I’m curious what qualifies people as experts in a non-regulated industry? And do you agree that this rather holds risks for the industry instead of helping? Curious to hear what some of you who have actually been out there in the trenches think about that.

❓ Why should understanding their position in society matter to a transit hub? ❓ And how can knowing this help improve every aspect of its efficiency? When considering social placemaking – the intentional design and curation of a space to promote a sense of community and belonging – a venue should first consider the impact of building a more welcoming environment. In our most recent blog post, we explore the impact of social placemaking ideals and how GoodMaps can help venues to become dynamic and sustainable hubs. 📃 https://hubs.li/Q02qM8PV0 #MappingTheFuture #SocialPlacemaking #SustainableTravel #tech4good — Also, don’t forget to check out the video on our partnership with Port of Portland, which highlights the ever-present need to consider a venue’s impact on all of society. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
