Developing an integrated conceptual framework for sustainable public housing

Abstract

Integrating a sustainability approach into project management is critical to achieving a successful project. An integrated sustainability approach to public housing (PH) projects will provide a more satisfactory built environment. However, many challenges confront such an approach, for instance, the multi-disciplinary nature of sustainable public housing (SPH) and the lack of an established integrated framework in the literature. This analysis addresses this gap and develops the integrated conceptual framework for SPH. The study methodology combines the results of previous research with a systematic literature review. Three dimensions have been identified to form the integrated SPH framework: requirements, challenges, and opportunities covering all the project stages (scope, planning, design, construction, occupancy, and demolition). The SPH requirement defines the general needs and values needed to achieve sustainability in PH projects in a sustainable community. In contrast, the specific needs are related to end-users’ needs. The challenges include the constraints and conditions facing the development of SPH. The opportunities to achieve SPH are discussed based on the construction management tools, including feasibility studies (FS), innovation (INN), risk management (RM), and lean construction (LC). The study reveals increased attention in academic publications toward applying construction management tools in the SPH frameworks: 31% each for the FS and RM, 24% for the INN, and 14% for LC. The study recommends applying this framework as a guideline at the project initiation to ensure a sustainability approach and successful SPH projects. The study also suggests obtaining all stakeholders' feedback regarding existing SPH and consent for new ones to achieve a satisfactory project at the project initiation.
