China used to be like this, we called it socialism. Back then, the communities were organized around the companies, although we didn't call them "companies", we call them "units". they are all run by the government. And you don't get a salary, instead, the companies give food tickets (housing was free). you go to eat at the community cafeteria with the food tickets.
apartments had kitchens still. but they were very basic. I remember some apartments had only one kitchen per floor.
