Abstract
Housing development calls for collaboration through a multipronged and concerted effort from all stakeholders to acquire resources within institutional arrangements set by state and local governments. Despite growing attention by UN-Habitat towards the New Urban Agenda for affordable housing, the role of institutional collaboration among stakeholders has been overlooked. For purpose of the present research, a structured literature review was conducted based on 33 papers collaborative archetypes in the affordable housing sector. A typology of key collaborative approaches in housing research and practice is presented jointly to juxtapose these approaches emphasizing the integration of stakeholder engagement with institutional patterns of resource acquisition. The present study offers a conceptual framework of Institutional Stakeholder Collaborations (ISCs) beyond the conventional definitions and concepts of collaboration. The ISCs framework offers a two-level agenda, encouraging scholars and academicians to examine stakeholder engagements and resource dependency patterns within the institutional arrangements for future empirical research, to navigate the affordable housing provision effectively. Finally, this research advances the collaboration theory integrating resource dependence, institutional, and stakeholder theories.
