The purpose of this study is to investigate how to improve the delivery of affordable housing in Sydney from an architectural perspective. To achieve this, case studies of affordable housing in Amsterdam have been examined to ascertain whether they offer any suggestions on ways to proceed.

This analysis has been set against a backdrop of a comparative history of built affordable housing in each city, over the past one hundred years, in order to understand any particular cultural factors which may have influenced built outcomes. Attention has been given to illustrating affordable housing projects and positioning them in time within a broader socioeconomic, political and town planning history, so that they may be considered an extension of that information.
