Plastic Sand Bricks as an Alternative Sustainable Building Material: Panacea to Affordable Housing for Low Income
Housing shortages are one of the key issues in developing countries, and low-income earners are disproportionately affected. This is because the bulk of low-cost housing put in place for this group of people is unaffordable due to factors such as a lack of political will, corruption and high cost of building materials among others. As a result, this study critically explores the use of plastic sand bricks as an alternative building material due to their sustainability and availability as a solution to cheap housing for low-income earners. The study used a qualitative method, analyzing some of the available literature, to propose solutions to housing shortages caused by population growth and rising building material costs, this will help the policy makers in built environment, by complementing their effort in achieving sustainable development goals Keywords Housing shortage, plastics sand brick, low-cost housing, low-income, affordable housing.

AbstractIn developing nations such as Nigeria, the housing industry lacks appropriate and highquality housing. One of the housing development concepts and shelter delivery systems in practice in developing nations Nigeria inclusive are public, private and public–private. These three delivery strategies involves in mass housing production, although the bulk of these mass housing are not sustainable. This study examines at the conditions of mass housing delivered by the public, public–private, and private sectors in Ilorin, Nigeria. Quantitative and qualitative research approaches were employed for the study and both primary and secondary data were utilised. Multistage sampling technique was adopted to sample 27% of the 4166 households’ population. A set of questionnaire was administered to 1125 household heads, from 895 houses of the Public, 203 of public–private–partnership and 27 of private developers. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics and multiple analyses of variance (MANOVA) to get the variation in housing elements condition based on the three-delivery strategy. According to the study, private had walls with highest percentage of very good (41.0%), good conditions (51.6%), and public had walls with 33.1% very good, 36.6% good conditions. However, 13.0% of PPP wall are in poor condition, and 80.1% of walls are only fair, comparisons of the condition of housing elements in the three strategies revealed that all the parameters of houses were found to have significant differences with p values reported for the comparison were observed to be less than 0.05 confidence level (p < 0.05). The study suggests among others that public–private partnership delivery strategy should be given more attention by the government to ensure good quality delivery and sustainability of mass housing. - From Traditional (Vernacular) to Contemporary (New) Architecture: A Lesson from Southwest Nigeria
