The construction of low-cost, affordable housing to promote economic growth and a better living environment, as well as the expansion of development centres, seacoast spatial developments, and transit development. Utilizing SWOT analysis and real-life case studies, the study’s sustainable development concepts are evaluated against predetermined criteria. Economic viability, social equity, and environmental friendliness comprise the “triple-E” concept of sustainability, which the authors believe underpins Planet People.
