Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Aerial photography has become an indispensable tool in urban planning, offering detailed and comprehensive views of landscapes and urban environments. In Makurdi Local Government Area, Benue State, aerial photography is used to map infrastructure, monitor urban expansion, and plan sustainable development projects. According to Agada and Tersoo (2023), aerial imagery provides planners with accurate data, enabling them to make informed decisions about land use, zoning, and environmental conservation. However, the adoption of aerial photography in Makurdi is limited by factors such as high costs, lack of expertise, and inadequate regulatory frameworks. This study explores the role of aerial photography in urban planning in Makurdi, focusing on its applications, challenges, and benefits.
