Abstract

The paper examined why the idea of sustainability had been brought into housing discourses and how sustainable development principles benefits housing. This was carried out by examining how has sustainability been interpreted in the context of housing. The research adopted exploration of secondary data by a concise review of literature. The paper highlights how the sustainability principles has become imperative as a basis in housing and the built environment and shows housing, as a key component of the built environment, which plays an important role in all aspects of sustainable development. The study concludes that a sustainable housing development should not only have environment friendly and energy efficient buildings, it should be affordable, accessible to facilities and public transportation and be manageable. It must facilitate social inclusion and not a mechanism of social exclusion. Such development must enhance resident quality of life from generation to generation.
