“…Upon analyzing the literature, it can be realized that a large number of publications are focusing on construction projects that try to implement improvements in the standards of low-income housing, especially those located in slum settlements. These settlements are the core of the discussion in many articles and their replacement by standards with higher performance is the engine of public policies at the housing level [33,[39][40][41]54,55,65,68,71]. Another topic of great relevance is the real estate market, with its financial impact among the stakeholders.…”

Nowadays, there are many studies with a significant focus on affordable housing. The relevance of this theme, which is usually the central object of public housing policies, requires an updated review of the problems and challenges to be overcome, especially in terms of sustainability, in favor of an improvement in the quality of products delivered to beneficiaries. This research concentrates on applying the sustainability concept to affordable housing, emphasizing technical, social, and governance aspects. A novel classification framework is introduced, encompassing these aspects in the context of sustainability integrated with affordable housing. A systematic literature review is conducted and more than 100 articles are examined based on bibliometric and bibliographic analyses to highlight the main dimensions and topics involved in the housing public policy sphere. The study has been elaborated based on collecting relevant materials, building a descriptive analysis of the literature examined, highlighting the classification structure that categorizes the studies examined, and evaluating the material identified based on the classification structure. The outcomes aim to spotlight the diverse dimensions of sustainable affordable housing and associated research themes. Furthermore, the research outlines deficiencies in current approaches and outlines a future research agenda for implementing sustainability in affordable housing. It establishes a strong connection between technical, social, and governance aspects of affordable housing and sustainability, considering anticipated approaches, techniques, and challenges.

“…While this influx of new residents contributes to the growth of the urban economy, it also intensifies the demand for housing, leading to a shortage of affordable housing options for the floating population [10]. Consequently, this housing issue has resulted in the emergence of informal housing as a response to the significant disparity between the supply and demand for urban housing [11,12].This helps alleviate urban poverty and, to some extent, prevents the formation of slums [13,14]. Nevertheless, due to the social and environmental issues associated with urban villages and the conflicts between sustainable and high-quality urban development, it is important to focus on the future of urban villages and their informal housing.…”

Amid rapid urbanization, the housing market must be more robust to provide housing for vulnerable groups. In China, informal housing, represented by urban villages, provides a large amount of living space and alleviates the emergence of urban poverty and slums. However, due to the social and environmental problems of urban villages, there are certain contradictions with the sustainable development of cities. This paper takes Guangzhou as an example, looking at the trajectory and underlying mechanisms of informal housing growth in urban villages utilizing field surveys and questionnaire interviews. The study extracts the current housing conditions and development concerns in urban villages and tries to unearth the economic and social issues behind urbanization. In addition, this study discusses the inclusive development strategy of informal housing in urban villages from three aspects: the improvement of affordable housing, the protection of migrant populations' rights and interests, and the renovation and renewal of urban, which offer insight into managing informal housing and supporting sustainable development in developing countries.
