Abstract
With the acceleration of global urbanization, housing issues have become a key topic in social sustainable development. Inclusive housing design, as a concept that focuses on the needs of different social groups, especially vulnerable populations, is being widely applied worldwide. This paper explores the important role of inclusive housing design in promoting social equity, environmental protection, and economic sustainability. Through case studies from regions such as the Netherlands, the United States, and China, the paper reveals the positive impact of inclusive housing design in meeting the needs of special groups, including low-income populations, people with disabilities, and the elderly. The paper also analyzes the challenges faced during the implementation of inclusive housing design and proposes improvements in areas such as policy support, technological innovation, and social awareness. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes the critical role of inclusive housing design in building a sustainable society.
