APPRAISAL OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECOSYSTEM-BASED APPROACHES
Urban resilience has become one of the main themes of modern discourse on sustainable urban development especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where urbanisation is more rapidly accelerating as compared to the ability of the cities to provide sufficient urban infrastructure, social services and environmental security. Some of the most rapidly expanding urban centres in the world can be found in this area such as Lagos, Nairobi, Kinshasa and Addis Ababa.
FEAR OF CRIME AND FOOD SECURITY DYNAMICS
Food security remains one of the most urgent development challenges of the twenty-first century. The global food system is increasingly shaped by overlapping pressures, including climate variability, economic shocks, conflict, insecurity, supply-chain disruption and declining household purchasing power Gbadaamosi & Akanmu, 2023. The state of food security and nutrition in the world continues to emphasise that food security requires physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food at all times. This definition is important because it extends food security beyond production to include mobility, access, stability and social conditions that enable households to obtain food.
ASSESSING THE SPATIAL PATTERNS OF URBAN AGRICULTURE
Urban agriculture has increasingly become a critical strategy to address the pressing challenges of food security in rapidly urbanizing regions, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria.
URBAN AGRICULTURE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
Urban agriculture has become an important element in sustainable urban development, especially in rapidly urbanising areas of the developing countries, where conventional food supply systems are often inadequate to meet the rising demand (Gbadanmosi & Akanmu, 2023; Kennard and Bamford, 2020).
SMART SOLUTIONS FOR RESILIENT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND CITY LIVABILITY
City livability is residents’ accessibility to effective and resilient infrastructure, sustainable environment, social harmony and economic wellness.
AI-DRIVEN PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FOR IBADAN WASH INFRASTRUCTURE
Rapid urbanization has become a defining feature of the twenty-first century, reshaping population distribution, infrastructure needs, and the spatial structure of cities worldwide
SYNERGIZING GLOBAL SYSTEM OF MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM) is a computerized, flexible communication system created by the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI).
PROMOTING COMMUNITY INCLUSIVENESS IN PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The term 'inclusiveness' embodies principles that advocate for the involvement of all individuals and entities, regardless of their status, origin, characteristics, needs, or perspectives, thereby ensuring comprehensive representation (Anthony, 2023).
SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS AND UTILIZATION PATTERNS OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (PHC) FACILITIES
Access to quality healthcare service remains a central pillar of sustainable development and human well-being worldwide.
WATER QUALITY EVALUATION AND SANITARY SURVEYING
People use sources tainted with disease-vector pathogens or inappropriate levels of toxins and bacteria pathogens, and they lack access to drinkable water in many regions of the world (Bilal et al. 2020).
ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HEALTH CARE ACCESSIBILITY AND HEALTH CARE OUTCOME IN SEMI-URBAN AREA
World Health Organization, WHO, (2020) states that Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental determinant of human well-being and economic development.
ASSESSMENT OF PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste is unwanted by-products of human activity, they manifest in different ways, solid, liquid or gaseous, depending on their sources.
URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF PUBLIC SPACE
Cities across the world are experiencing profound spatial, socio-economic transformations in diverse ramifications since the advent of 19ᵗʰ century.
INCREMENTAL HOUSING AND PHYSICAL PLANNING STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
The United Nations estimates that there will be roughly 8 billion people on the planet by 2030, two billion more than there were in 2008 (UNPF, 2007).
AN OVERVIEW OF ADOPTION OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON BUILDING PROJECTS
The construction industry has long been recognised as a cornerstone of national development.
INTEGRATED FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT AND URBAN LIVEABILITY
Urban development in Nigeria lacks proper coordination, and therefore, cities in coastal areas are at a higher risk of flooding due to increased urbanisation and climate change.
MITIGATING URBAN FLOOD RISKS
Urban flooding has become more than a temporary inconvenience into a widespread and catastrophic menace in Nigerian cities, and spans a major barrier to sustainable development.
INTEGRATING CLIMATE RESILIENT DESIGN PRINCIPLES INTO SUSTAINABLE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The rapid growth of urban areas and population in regions poses significant challenges for sustainability and climate resilience.
DECARBONIZING URBAN MOBILITY IN NIGERIA
Nigeria’s urban transport sector is among the highest sources of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for nearly one-quarter of the country’s total energy-related emissions (International Energy Agency [IEA], 2023).
URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Urban road traffic has become a major concern in contemporary urban development, particularly in rapidly growing cities where population increases, ill-planned, spatial expansion, motorization, and inadequate transport infrastructure interact to produce persistent congestion.
RESIDENTS’ APPRAISAL OF URBAN MOBILITY AND LOW CARBON TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS
Transportation is a fundamental component of urban development and plays a significant role in promoting economic growth, social interaction, and environmental sustainability.
ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE VULNERABILITY AND URBAN MOBILITY SAFETY RISKS
Urbanisation has fundamentally reshaped the spatial, economic and social structure of cities worldwide, transforming them into centres of economic activity, innovation, and human interaction.
