Background of the Study
Sustainable housing integrates environmental, social, and economic principles to create homes that meet the needs of present and future generations. In urban centers, where population density and environmental challenges are prevalent, sustainable housing is critical for reducing resource consumption, improving living conditions, and promoting urban resilience.
In Niger State, rapid urbanization has led to increased housing demand, placing pressure on existing infrastructure and resources. While sustainable housing solutions offer a pathway to address these challenges, the extent of demand for such housing in urban centers remains unclear. This study evaluates the demand for sustainable housing in Niger State’s urban centers, providing insights into consumer preferences, market potential, and policy implications.
Statement of the Problem
The housing deficit in Niger State’s urban centers is a significant challenge, exacerbated by unsustainable construction practices and insufficient consideration of environmental impacts. Despite the potential benefits of sustainable housing, its adoption remains limited, possibly due to lack of awareness, affordability concerns, or inadequate policy support. Understanding the demand for sustainable housing is crucial for addressing these barriers and promoting its adoption.
