Abstract:

Nigerian cities have become zones for violent confrontations. The causes and nature of urban violence in our cities is viewed in different forms. This paper brings to limelight those issues that led to the upsurge of violence and why it has been sustained in our urban centers. The study identified issues like religion, ethnicity, stressful public policy, student unrest, cultism and extra-judicial activities as the major causes of urban violence in Nigeria. The study further examined the consequences of violence on the urban environment. They include loss of lives and property, psychological st

<p>It is estimated that by 2020 half of Nigerians shall live in urban centres. Nigeria has scores of such centres, with many showing the tendency of becoming megacities in a no distant future. One of these cities, Lagos (already a megacity), shall by projection, have a population of 24 million persons by 2020. The other, Abuja, is one of the fastest growing cities on earth. Generally, the world is now known to parade far larger cities than history has ever recorded. Some of these cities are quite magnificent and glorious - London, Paris, Tokyo and New York.

Abstract:

Nigeria is rapidly urbanizing and is forecasted to become the 3rd most urbanized nation by 2100. Expectedly, the rapid urbanization presents challenges in many areas including the management of municipal services such as solid waste. This yawning failure is reflected in the poor quality of waste services across Nigerian cities. The study reviewed municipal waste management governance and institutional frameworks, and financing arrangements in two major cities in the North-western and south-eastern parts of Nigeria—Kano and Enugu cities.

In spite of the importance of adequate water quality and quantity for human health and survival, public water supply coverage in Nigerian cities appears to be decreasing and deteriorating. Hence, this study was designed to assess the challenges of public water provision in Nigerian cities. Some of the reasons for this deterioration include: inadequate water supply policy, lack of autonomy for the various State Water Agencies (SWAs), corruption in the water sector, poor infrastructure investment and maintenance, deficiencies in pipe distribution networks and inadequate power supply.

Abstract:

Nigerian cities have some of the lowest liveability indices worldwide due to environmental degradation exacerbated by the remarkable expansion in the country’s urban population. Various studies have revealed links between city liveability and urban management, indicating the urban challenges faced by Nigerian cities are due to fundamental flaws in city management systems designed to exclude critical urban actors. Therefore, this paper examines the nature and impact of city governments’ urban management systems (U.M.S.) on inclusivity and liveability in Nigeria. Based on an extensive literature

Abstract:

Nigerian cities are experiencing rapid non-complementary land use dynamics. Many residential dwellings in established neighbourhoods have been converted to illegal mixed land uses, especially commercial activities. Efforts made by the government to address the problem such as demolition of illegal structures and preparation of urban master plans have not yielded the desired results. The problem still persists because of poor understanding of the peculiarity of the nation’s land use dynamics. The goal of this study was to identify and characterize the peculiar nature of land use dynamics

Abstract:

Informal settlements have become more or less a permanent feature of Developing Countries’ Cities. These settlements have developed as a result of the failures of public housing programmes to reach the majority of the poor citizens of these countries. Despite the deplorable condition of housing in these settlements, they remain the only hope of the overwhelming majority of the poor citizens in attaining their housing aspirations. There is therefore the need to develop strategies to eradicate or mitigate the elements of informality of these settlements which give them their negative attributes.

Abstract:

With Nigeria's fast urbanization and population growth, the number and the size of mega churches have increased, particularly in major cities. When considered from an environmental viewpoint, this poses obstacles and opportunities. Mega churches take up a lot of space, increase impermeable surfaces, use a lot of energy, and cause traffic congestion and air pollution. Their growth may also contribute to the loss of green space and the strain on infrastructure. Mega churches, on the other hand, can play a critical role in encouraging environmental stewardship as centers of community with moral a

The energy sector of Nigeria’s economy constitutes a critical challenge. This sector has defied all efforts for its reform and restoration largely due to ineffective and poor policy implementation. In the 20th century, oil was the main driving force in global geopolitics and the main force behind massive industrialization. However, oil is moving in a downward trend. In its place will be an array of technologies, in the form of alternative energies with long term prospects.

Migration, the movement of people from one place to another, is believed to flow towards urbanization. Urbanization accounts for the major reason which pulls migration, and the environment is the fiber and bedrock upon which Urbanization thrives. As Urbanization occurs, the environment is modified to accommodate its new population. Ideally, in modifying the environment to accommodate urbanization, care should be taken to avoid any form of exploitation, degradation, abuse, and misuse.

Abstract:

The proliferation of urban youth gangs is often attributed to criminogenic factors of economic, family, and community contexts. Among urban Nigerian youths, the sharp increase in youth gangs has been exacerbated by a broken socio-cultural value system arising from a sustained economic dislocation, aping of foreign cultures, as well as a predatory political elite that uses gang members as foot soldiers in the violent struggle for political power by rival political groups. This study examines the etiology, trend, and dynamism of gang culture in Nigeria. Employing a qualitative approach, the stud

Abstract:

In most Nigerian cities, there have been an increased number of trading in charcoals, firewood, and sawdust. Yet, the fast citing of cooking gas refilling stations in these areas requires much to be studied since their increasing number suggests great demand for cooking gas. The knowledge of the different household fuel choices and the drivers of this choice was lacking in Nigerian cities, thus the inability of energy policymakers to predict and plan household fuel agenda in Nigeria. The thrust of this paper was to analyze the household energy fuel choice and the pattern of consumption as well

Purpose This study aims to explore how cultural beliefs and traditions are integral to understanding indigenous mental health conditions (MHCs) and traditional healing (TH). However, Nigerian cultural beliefs about MHCs and TH are under-researched. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a qualitative design using critical realist and social constructionist perspectives to explore Nigerian mental health-care practitioners (MHCPs) and lay participants’ (LPs) views regarding MHCs and TH. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to select 53 participants (MHCPs = 26; LPs = 27;

Abstract:

The recency of the cultural and creative industries and the cultural diversity existing among the nations of the world have caused many societies, organisations and governments to define the industry based on the peculiarities of their specific culture and environment. Government agencies like the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sports and multilateral institutions like UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) have all defined the industry by leveraging on specific criteria that they developed for that purpose. As an industry sector in Nigeria, the cultural and creative

Abstract:

Flooding, one of the effects of climate change, has become recurrent in Nigerian cities that are situated on floodplains. To recover from economic and financial losses after the flooding incidents, affected residents of such areas have been relying heavily on government relief efforts as well as assistance from family, friends and philanthropists. However, these sources have not always been reliable in terms of being available, coming in the right amounts as well as being timeous. There is therefore the need for more reliable and sustainable strategies for helping flood victims of Nigerian cit
