SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION HANDBOOK 2 However, an integrated model of sustainable and affordable housing might need to be underpinned by key drivers or enablers. There is a cardinal need to identify what needs to be in place to bridge the gap between the separate components of sustainable housing and affordable housing. In identifying the factors conducive for the affordable housing aspects, attention should be paid to the structural problems in Australia’s housing systems, such as a growing gap between housing supply and demand. Other key drivers are generic factors in the broad environment such as the political environment which in essence governs housing policy. 56 Conclusion This chapter has addressed the debate over affordable and sustainable housing in the Australian context and discussed work on an embryonic model that might offer conceptual and practical direction for the construction of affordable and sustainable housing. It has been argued here that sustainable housing and affordable housing, at least in the Australian context, are merit goods with a degree of conceptual convergence albeit with evident tensions. Convergence was discussed in relation to the Ecocents Living project, a research project that is seeking to develop a conceptual and practical model to guide the development of affordable and sustainable housing. Illustrations were offered of areas where the objectives of sustainable housing and affordable housing converge but where there are also evident tensions. It has been suggested that integration might only be achieved when affordable housing is a secondary objective to achieving truly sustainable housing. Albeit attention should be paid to structural issues such as the relationship between housing supply and demand and generic factors in the broad environment, which include the political environment and its impact on environmental and housing policy. The model discussed here is embryonic and we welcome contributions to a debate on how the integration of sustainable and affordable housing might be advanced.
