Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Urban planning policies are essential for achieving sustainable urban development and addressing the challenges posed by informal settlements or slums. Slum areas often arise from unregulated urban growth, inadequate housing policies, and socio-economic inequalities, leading to overcrowding, poor sanitation, and lack of access to essential services (Ahmed et al., 2024). Bauchi Local Government, Bauchi State, like many other urban centers in Nigeria, faces persistent challenges with slum proliferation, despite the implementation of various urban planning policies aimed at eradication.
These policies include the development of affordable housing schemes, land regularization, and community-driven infrastructure projects. While some progress has been made, challenges such as limited resources, poor policy enforcement, and rapid urbanization continue to undermine these efforts (Usman & Bello, 2023). This study investigates the effectiveness of urban planning policies in slum eradication within Bauchi Local Government, identifying gaps and proposing strategies for improvement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite urban planning policies targeting slum eradication in Bauchi Local Government, informal settlements persist due to weak enforcement mechanisms, insufficient funding, and socio-economic disparities (Mustapha et al., 2024). These challenges hinder the local government's ability to provide adequate housing and basic services to the urban poor, necessitating a re-evaluation of current policies.
