dc.description.abstract Pakistan is facing the issue of energy shortage in the housing sector for the past two decades, with power outages throughout the country all year long. Increased rate of population growth and increased urbanization rate are the factors responsible for this issue, regarding the future of the energy supply in the urbanized regions of Pakistan.The urban housing sector has also emerged as one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the country and has become a serious concern from an environmental point of view. The housing sector is projected to becomethe biggest consumer of the two main energy sources (electricity and gas). The main objective of this paper is to carry out a review of literature focusing on the housing sector, in terms of energy consumption and coevolution of the spatial layout of the residential sector in Pakistan. As the paper is part of an ongoing Ph.D. research; therefore, the outcome of the paper was highlighting the issue of excessive use of energy in the single-family housing sector of Pakistani urban areas for building a foundation for further investigation of the reason behind excessive use of energy in this housing sector.
