Background of the Study
Sustainable architecture focuses on designing buildings and infrastructure that minimize environmental impacts while enhancing energy efficiency and resource conservation. It incorporates practices such as green building materials, renewable energy integration, and energy-efficient designs to achieve sustainability goals. In Nigeria, rapid urbanization has led to challenges such as resource depletion, deforestation, and environmental degradation, underscoring the need for sustainable architecture.
The urban planning sector in Nigeria is increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainable architecture in addressing environmental challenges and improving urban living conditions. This study examines the role of sustainable architecture in Nigeria’s urban planning sector, evaluating its contributions to sustainability and identifying barriers to its widespread adoption.
Statement of the Problem
Despite its potential benefits, sustainable architecture is not widely implemented in Nigeria’s urban planning sector. Factors such as high costs, limited technical expertise, and weak regulatory frameworks hinder its adoption. This study explores the role of sustainable architecture in promoting environmental sustainability and addresses the challenges impeding its integration into urban planning practices in Nigeria.
