ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to examine environmental protection agency strategy for reducing health risks in urban areas. The study was specifically aimed at evaluating the roles of the environmental protection agency in reducing health risks in urban areas in Nigeria, assess the performance of environmental protection agency in reducing health risks in urban areas in Nigeria, ad investigate problems affecting the effectiveness of environmental protection agency in reducing health risks in urban areas in Nigeria. The data used in this study was derived from archival sources and content analysis of different research findings in relation to environmental problems due to impacts of human production and consumption activities in major urban centres in Nigeria. Also a good proportion of the data were those complied through observations in the course of involvement in physical development as architects, as well as teacher–student interactions in urban settings in Nigeria in which the authors have been involved over the years. The findings of this study revealed that managing environmental health issues of urban growth and urbanization in Nigeria have become one of the most important challenges of the 21 century. Urbanization has been seen as potential driver of economic development, industrialization, human welfare, and structural transformation as it makes cities become engine of growth and sustainable development. Hence, if managed carefully, urbanization could help to reduce hardship and human suffering; on the other hand, it could also increase urban poverty and squalor. The study therefore recommends that there is urgent need for the government to enter into partnerships with Community-Based Organizations in rural infrastructure provision. This will promote the establishment of agro-based industries, provide incentives for younger people to go into agricultural activities and make life worth living in rural areas. These will eventually reduce the number of immigrants to the urban areas and consequently cut down on the rate of urban population growth.
