Neighbourhood concept has long been discussed and implemented since 1920’s. Many contemporary neighbourhood concepts have been created and used such as green, sustainable, liveable, quality, new urbanism, safe, compact neighbourhood. The recent developments in the concept of neighbourhood are geared towards a healthy neighbourhood. Therefore, this paper conducts a thorough assessment of the literature in order to synthesise the current framework knowledge in terms of healthy neighbourhood purposes, elements, principles and also the framework and model used from previous research. A search was done from 1999 to the present to gather only applicable models or frameworks in general, with the inclusion criteria of no period, worldwide, and English language. There were 51 publications or journals identified with the keyword healthy neighbourhood, liveable neighbourhood, and sustainable neighbourhood. The purposes, elements, and principles of a healthy neighbourhood in relation to sustainable development and social well-being were screened in all titles and abstracts. Only 28 publications were found to be relevant and closed linked in creating the conceptual framework for this paper after the filtering procedure of all relevant key phrases. This paper utilised a snowball approach to collect the necessary papers after an extensive check on the key terms. Basically, the previous theoretical and modelling framework was related to sustainable development and social well-being. For the development of comprehensive conceptual framework for healthy neighbourhood, the researcher will use 3 elements and 8 principles. For the future, the conceptual framework will be used and tested for comprehensive healthy neighbourhood.
