title: Building cooperative care communities.
abstract: Four of the individuals behind an unusual Dutch project to bring together, under one overall "umbrella", a range of integrated healthcare, social care, educational and leisure facilities within a multicultural, multi-activity centre located in one of Amsterdam's most socially diverse "problem" districts, describe how the project evolved, and its ambitious short- and long-term goals.
