Summary
The government is committed towards ensuring access to quality and affordable housing to meet the needs of a growing population by matching demand and supply, promoting an efficient and sustainable housing industry, as well as providing efficient public utilities and services and a clean environment (KPKT, 2011). In this regard, the formulation of the National Housing Policy (NHP) is timely to assist the private sector to respond to the government’s aspiration towards providing adequate and affordable houses for the lower income group. To improve the quality of life in the city, one of the key components of housing is the sustainability and balanced living style among social, economic and environmental needs (Bakar and Jusoh, 2017)
