Sustainable Policy Frameworks for Transition Towards Cooperative Housing Model in Saudi Arabia
Housing has become one of the most important issues facing countries in the Middle East. According to the United Nations, more than 1.1 billion urban dwellers live in slums or in inadequate housing areas [1]. The population of slums is expected to increase in the coming decades in the absence of effective housing policies. The housing issue is not related to the housing itself, but rather to the family seeking to obtain a housing that is compatible with the limits of economic capacity and meets the minimum social needs. The Sustainable Development Goals 11.1 emphasize “ensuring access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and improving livelihoods” [2]. Household income and average housing costs in cities are critical factors in measuring affordability, including understanding variation in the housing market, subsidy programs, and urban legislation [3].
