| Summary: | The present study delves into the decision-making processes pertaining to housing
among young professionals residing in urban areas, focusing particularly on their
preferences for sustainable housing options. Understanding the factors influencing the
housing preferences of this demographic is critical for promoting sustainable urban
development, given the ongoing challenges of urbanisation and environmental issues
faced by cities. This study aims to explore the decision-making process pertaining to
housing among young professionals in Malaysian urban areas and its correlation with
sustainability. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, encompassing surveys
and in-depth interviews, to analyse the significant factors and decision-making criteria
of young professionals residing in urban settings concerning housing. This study
primarily focuses on the economic aspect of housing decisions, specifically home
affordability, without dismissing the social and environmental factors that may also
influence these decisions. The present study contributes to the ongoing discourse on
urban sustainability by elucidating the dynamic and evolving preferences of young
professionals residing in urban areas. The findings provide valuable insights for
politicians, urban planners, and developers who aim to construct housing options that
are both sustainable and appealing to this influential demographic group. Ultimately,
this contributes to the overall sustainability and resilience of urban communities. |
