Planning for Affordable Housing: Mechanisms and Policies to Balance Cost and Quality: Riyadh Case Study

Affordable housing is one of the most significant development challenges in major cities, serving as a cornerstone for achieving social stability, enhancing quality of life, and supporting balanced urban growth. The concept of affordable housing extends beyond simply reducing housing prices; it encompasses providing suitable housing in terms of quality, location, and services, within the reach of various segments of society, enabling them to own or rent without excessive financial burdens. This underscores the need for integrated policies and mechanisms that strive to achieve a precise balance between price and quality, ensuring the sustainability of urban development and equitable access to housing.
