Despite the global trend toward increasing public–private partnership (PPP) implementation in the provision of economic and social infrastructure, published work on the systematic examination of crucial success factors in the housing sector remains limited. Failed PPP projects in affordable housing endeavors in several countries and the relatively limited studies on related critical success factors (CSFs) indicate the need for further research in this emerging area. This study aims to review the published literature through September 2019 on the CSFs for PPPs delivering affordable housing. A summative content analysis approach is deployed to analyze the qualitative content of published literature on CSFs for PPPs in affordable housing. Results reveal limited, but increasing, research efforts to explore the CSFs for PPPs in affordable housing. The most-identified CSFs in the literature are: political support and stability, a favorable and efficient legal framework, appropriate risk allocation and sharing, and trust and openness. This study provides governments, private developers, and researchers with a list of the most-identified CSFs for use when developing a model for engaging in PPPs in affordable housing projects. It is recommended that further studies focus on CSFs in affordable housing (an emerging and little-researched area). The checklist from this study can be used for further empirical analysis to allow comparisons with the results identified in this study.

尽管全球在提供经济和社会基础设施方面越来越多地采用公私合营（PPP）的趋势，但有关住房部门关键成功因素的系统研究的公开工作仍然有限。几个国家在可负担住房方面的PPP项目失败，以及对相关关键成功因素（CSF）的研究相对有限，这表明需要在这一新兴领域进行进一步的研究。这项研究旨在回顾截至2019年9月的已发表文献，这些文献涉及为PPP提供可负担住房的CSF。运用总结性内容分析方法来分析有关可负担住房中PPP的CSF的已发表文献的定性内容。结果表明，为探索可负担住房中PPP的CSF，研究工作有限，但仍在增加。文献中最容易识别的CSF是：政治支持和稳定，有利而有效的法律框架，适当的风险分配和分担以及信任和开放。这项研究为政府，私人开发商和研究人员提供了最可识别的CSF清单，供他们在建立可负担住房项目中的PPP购买模型时使用。建议进一步的研究集中在经济适用房（新兴且研究较少的领域）中的CSF。这项研究的清单可用于进一步的经验分析，以便与本研究中确定的结果进行比较。私人开发商和研究人员，其中列出了最知名的CSF，可用于开发在可负担住房项目中参与PPP的模型。建议进一步的研究集中在经济适用房（新兴且研究较少的领域）中的CSF。这项研究的清单可用于进一步的经验分析，以便与本研究中确定的结果进行比较。私人开发商和研究人员，其中列出了最知名的CSF，可用于开发在可负担住房项目中参与PPP的模型。建议进一步的研究集中在经济适用房（新兴且研究较少的领域）中的CSF。这项研究的清单可用于进一步的经验分析，以便与本研究中确定的结果进行比较。
