Abstract

The growing urgency of climate change and persistent housing inequality have intensified the need for sustainable affordable housing (SAH). This study aims to examine research trends linking housing and sustainability, identify key barriers to SAH development, and propose effective strategies to address these challenges. Using bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review (SLR), studies were retrieved through an advanced search of the Scopus and Mendeley databases, yielding 14 articles for detailed analysis. The findings indicate that construction innovation inefficiencies, ineffective policies, and financial constraints remain major impediments to SAH implementation. By synthesising existing evidence, this study provides strategic insights to support policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in advancing sustainable, affordable, and inclusive housing development.
