Background of the Study
Urban planning in Nigeria is shaped by various geopolitical considerations that influence the distribution of resources, infrastructure development, and overall governance of cities. Kaduna South Local Government Area (LGA) in Kaduna State, a region with a growing population and urban expansion, faces the challenge of incorporating these geopolitical factors into effective urban planning. Geopolitical considerations, including regional political dynamics, ethnic relations, and historical land disputes, significantly affect how urban space is utilized and developed (Tijani & Olaniyan, 2024). These factors also determine the allocation of resources for housing, transportation, and public services, which in turn impacts the quality of life for residents. Furthermore, geopolitical boundaries often influence decisions regarding zoning laws, the creation of commercial and residential areas, and access to utilities. The study aims to assess how these geopolitical factors impact urban planning in Kaduna South, with a focus on the interplay between political power, community interests, and development strategies (Bello & Mohammed, 2023).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The urban development process in Kaduna South LGA is influenced by various geopolitical factors that sometimes lead to inefficiencies, inequality in resource distribution, and tensions between communities. The lack of integration between urban planning initiatives and geopolitical considerations has hindered the efficient use of land and resources in the area, resulting in urban sprawl, poor infrastructure, and insufficient access to basic services for some communities (Bello & Mohammed, 2023). The study seeks to examine how these geopolitical factors have shaped urban planning in Kaduna South and explore strategies to integrate these factors into more effective urban governance.

-
What are the challenges faced by urban planners in integrating geopolitical factors into urban development in Kaduna South?
-
What strategies can be implemented to improve urban planning in Kaduna South through the consideration of geopolitical factors?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
-
Geopolitical considerations significantly impact urban planning decisions in Kaduna South LGA.
-
The integration of geopolitical factors into urban planning will enhance the efficiency of resource allocation and infrastructure development.
-

1.6 Significance of the Study
The significance of this study lies in its potential to improve urban planning practices in Kaduna South LGA by highlighting the role of geopolitical considerations in urban development. The findings will inform policymakers, urban planners, and local government authorities on the importance of integrating these factors into future development strategies, ensuring that the growth of the region is sustainable and equitable (Tijani & Olaniyan, 2024).
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study is limited to Kaduna South LGA and focuses on how geopolitical considerations influence urban planning within this specific area. The study will not extend to other parts of Kaduna State or Nigeria. Limitations may include challenges in accessing comprehensive data on urban planning decisions and the subjective nature of assessing geopolitical impacts.
