Abstract

Rapid urbanization, population growth, and a surge in household formation have outpaced the provision of affordable, decent housing for low-income city dwellers. These households have limited choices and transform existing structures to meet their housing needs. Though this housing transformation primarily focuses on meeting supply needs and strategizing adjustments, it also promotes the concept of circular and sustainable cities. Our review and analysis of the existing literature have allowed us to situate the principles of circularity within housing transformations, exploring the synergy between them. We found that households alter, extend, replace, and materially modify existing houses to meet housing needs. These practices align with the principle of repurposing. Furthermore, changes in construction materials contribute to enhanced durability and decreased reliance on finite natural resources, promoting sustainability. Moreover, this housing transformation process supports the reduction principle, as it fosters urban infilling, helping to prevent urban sprawl. When managed effectively, housing transformation can contribute to circular approaches that substantially reduce land and vegetation consumption, decrease waste, and aid in realizing circular and sustainable cities.
