Abstract

The building industry plays a critical role in attaining sustainable development. Despite its substantial contribution to nation-building, the construction industry has a significant environmental impact in both industrialized and developing countries. Even though sustainability is a global issue, developing countries must approach it differently than developed countries, and alternative strategies must be embraced and implemented. In this research, SLR was performed to understand sustainable construction strategies for the development of affordable housing. Using the PRISMA model, we selected and analyzed 22 papers published between 2011 and 2021. The publications were sourced from ScienceDirect, Scopus, Emerald Insight, Sage Journals and Engineering Village through conferences and journals. The systematic review indicates using affordable, locally sourced building material as a sustainable, affordable housing development strategy.
