Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Urban beautification is a crucial aspect of city development, as it not only improves the aesthetic appeal of urban spaces but also enhances the quality of life for residents. In Kumo Local Government Area (LGA) in Gombe State, efforts to beautify urban spaces are gaining traction, with initiatives such as the planting of trees, the creation of public parks, and the renovation of public buildings. Photography plays a significant role in documenting these beautification efforts, as visual representations can influence public perceptions and attitudes towards urban development. By showcasing the transformation of public spaces, photography can increase awareness of urban beautification projects, encourage community participation, and garner support for further improvements. This study explores the impact of photography on the perception of urban beautification in Kumo, with the aim of understanding how visual imagery influences community attitudes and engagement with urban development initiatives.
