Abstract: This systematic review assesses public housing as an affordable housing scheme across various countries, examining its cost-benefit, environmental sustainability, and affordability. The study was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and databases from IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, ERIC, and Web of Science were utilised for data search and extraction. A total of 145 studies were found based on the inclusion criteria. The study discovered that public housing provides various cost-effective and sustainable housing options that affordable housebuilders can utilise. Regarding the objective, it was found that renters, so long as they take steps to avoid the risk of “economic growth,†are likely to gain financially from residing in a green, affordable apartment. It was demonstrated why it would be advantageous for a private corporation to build affordable housing with green features: green homes do not always cost more than conventional structures.
