“…However, Abumere et al (1998) observed that in Nigeria, the urban informal sector provides the bulk of the total internally generated revenue for the Local Government Areas and, moreover, accounts for over 70% of the urban employment in the country. Low-income urban dwellers do not use their dwelling units solely for residential purpose but for other purposes of commercial activities to support their income (Onyebueke, 2001). Despite socio-economic benefits of urban informal businesses, there is a flip side of value reduction and human health risks.…”

One of the persistent environmental issues today is high noise levels in residential areas especially in the developing countries. There are several unorganized informal sector activities such as recreational, road traffic, household and religious activities, operation of power generating sets, incompatible uses in space among others that are the sources of noise pollution in residential areas. A number of empirical studies have been carried out on the impact of noise on residential property values. However, one finds it very difficult to ascertain whether noise pollution affects residential property value in Enugu Urban. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether noise pollution has significant influence on residential rental values in the study area. The study has discovered that residential properties affected by noise pollution have lower rental value compared to those unaffected by 3.1% of its rental value. The study has provided some insight to guide property buyers or users, investors, property managers, and valuers as regards property transactions. The study has suggested that property value spatial index of noise pollution in the study area can be built and use as a guide for urban management strategy to achieve sustainable development.

“…The latter is generating huge attention among scholars across disciplinary divides due to its collateral implications on urban economy and land use dynamics (Simone, 2005). It accounts for over 70% of the urban employment in Nigeria (UNDP, 2000), yet there is little or no complementary infrastructural planning to contain this population increase and growth of the urban informal sector (Abumere, Arimah & Jerome, 1998;Onyebueke, 2001). Earlier studies on rural-urban migration focused largely on their social structure and its place in the formal labour market rather than living and operating spaces (Solinger, 1999).…”

“…Beyond the economic benefits of such regional cooperation (Naudé 2007), African cities/states must seriously reconsider the informal sector question and how to mitigate the 'informality cycle' (Van Dijk 1995;Onyebueke 2001;Kazimbaya-Senkwe 2004;Dobson et al 2009). With all other necessary measures in place, aspiring African cities may once again redeem their place and role in the global economy.…”

As the world shrinks into a 'global village', cities have come into focus as dominant nodes in the global transactions and flows of capital, commodities, people and services. The resulting economic cum information order is not only transforming the architecture of discrete cities everywhere but is also motivating new patterns of inter-city relations and networks. Global urban network is now synonymous with the trans-state processes that make up the global economy (Taylor, Political Geography 19:5-32, 2000). Hence, cities are increasing perceived as a new 'resource' and 'spring board' for connecting to and operating at the global level. The article explores these issues with reference to the place and function of African cities in the global urban network. A citybased assessment of this nature offers a fresh and fluid scope to African development question and quest as against the more conventional 'state-centric' benchmarking.
