Wilma,
Here are some links to stories on the GBA Web site about multifamily projects:

Some of the "greenest" multi-family dwellings are the co-housing projects that are springing up all over the Northeast (and I suspect in other areas as well). There are some in Western MA designed by green architect Bruce Coldham. http://www.coldhamandhartman.com/
The Cobb Hill Co-housing community in Hartland VT was founded by the late Donella Meadows. http://www.sustainer.org/cobbhill/Home.html
Robert,
I agree. Here's a co-housing case study on the GBA Web site:
