“…The informal land development system is thus perceived to promote equity. These run contrary to findings from several conventional studies on the inadequacies of formal land administration and planning systems in Nigeria (Egbu et al, 2008;Akingbade et al, 2012). These studies, although not focused on equity issues, partly reflect the existing system's discrimination against low income communities and the poor.…”

The informal land development system in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is perceived to promote equity and could be leveraged to support sustainable urban development and management. However, scanty empirical evidence exists on the extent of the system's provision of equity to support policy formulation and practice in the region. Based on stakeholder workshops, focus group discussions and questionnaire surveys, this study analyses the system's provision of equity in Nigeria. The study finds all categories of people undertake informal developments. Consistent with literature, this finding reflects wide patronage of the informal land development system and its relevance. Nevertheless, contrary to the existing perception, the system's provision of equity is low. The study recommends for the institution of pro-poor and gender sensitive land development and management policies and programmes to increase the levels of equity 2 to support the achievement of the country's sustainable urban development and management agenda.

“…A few studies have also been conducted on land affordability (Navarra and Georgiadou, 2009;Ezennia and Hoskara, 2019;Olaniran and Ogedengbe, 2020). Navarra and Georgiadou (2009) noted that the non-affordability of land is given by the procedures of land ownership, PM 41,4 which is extremely bureaucratic. The study added that the costs of land transactions are on the high side more importantly for the poor rural people and households in urban areas.…”

PurposeBeyond the economic determinants, non-economic criteria of land affordability are also of great importance. From the context of emerging economies, this study investigated the affordability of low-cost land allocation through the lens of non-economic criteria.Design/methodology/approachGiven that the non-economic criteria considered are those related to religion and politics, data were elicited from the owners of residential plots at Redemption City and Ikosi Residential Scheme respectively in Nigeria. The data collected were analysed using statistical methods of analysis: mean and standard deviation.FindingsThe result showed that safety and comfort, quality management, proximity to market, proximity to public transportation and proximity to health facilities were the significant non-economic criteria at Redemption City. On the other hand, the non-economic criteria found to be significant at Ikosi Residential Scheme were proximity to public transport, safety and comfort, low presence of environmental problems and income ratio.Practical implicationsThis study informs the promotion of private and public partnerships towards reducing the housing deficit in emerging economies. Also, it would help in the formulation and review of land policies, which would benefit not only their members.Originality/valueThis study is among the few that have looked at the non-economic criteria of land affordability, especially in emerging economies.

“…To cope with the difficulties on gaining access to all the relevant documentation, an informal open ended discussion was held with the staffs of Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS). Among the various office in charge of implementation, the AGIS was selected due to the fact that they are the outfit responsible for the computerization of the cadastral system and the restoration of the land uses to the original master plan (Akingbade,et al, 2012).…”

Generally, green spaces play an irreducible role in the sustainability of urban areas. Such roles include social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects. Thus, preserving urban green spaces has stimulated diverse positions in both researches and international debates overtime. In spite of the abundance of positions however, preserving green spaces in growing cities of developing countries with changing urbanization conditions has not been given comparative attention. Against this background, this paper makes a case of the Federal Capital City (FCC) of Nigeria as a typical city in its development phase in a developing countries with surging urbanization condition. In this case, over the last few years, there has been an alarming disappearance of designated green spaces in the city, against what was planned for in the Master Plan in 1979. In spite of the enactment of land use policies, there is nevertheless a consistent disappearance of green spaces in this city. As a point of departure therefore, this research argues that there is an urgent need for scientific study which investigates and document the status quo of green space in the city using the Master Plan as a reference point. To achieve this aim, gathering and interpretation of data which lead to the arguments and descriptions are presented methodologically based on a triangulated research approach. Conclusively, this paper posit that demonstrating the impacts of rapid spatial development on green spaces in developing cities such as the FCC, Abuja can be a cautionary case for the future of cities in developing countries.
