Abstract:
Despite the trillions of dollars disbursed on housing globally, investments towards social housing (SH) specifically continue to decline. SH developments, which provide upwards of 1,000 units per development, are today considered to be one viable answer to housing deficits.
In Lagos, Nigeria, nothing short of a revolution is needed to resolve its pressing housing and urban planning challenges. This timely investigation highlights limitations with the changing scale of SH developments, and explores current provisions for SH within master planning documents, among other things. Offering innovative solutions to a challenge of global proportions is hugely beneficial and undeniably urgent.
