Background of the Study
Inclusive urban planning is an essential aspect of sustainable development, ensuring that all segments of the population, including marginalized and vulnerable groups, have access to basic services, opportunities, and resources in urban areas. In Minna West Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State, rapid urbanization has led to increased population density, infrastructural challenges, and issues related to housing, transportation, and social services. The local government plays a key role in developing and implementing urban planning policies that promote inclusive growth and address the needs of diverse groups.
The local government has introduced policies aimed at improving urban planning in Minna West, including the development of affordable housing, better transportation networks, and improved access to public services. However, the success of these policies in creating an inclusive urban environment is yet to be fully assessed. This study aims to appraise the effectiveness of local government policies in promoting inclusive urban planning in Minna West LGA.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by the local government to implement urban planning policies in Minna West LGA, issues such as inadequate housing, lack of infrastructure, and social exclusion persist. Many urban poor and marginalized communities continue to face challenges in accessing basic services and participating in the urban planning process. There is a need to evaluate the impact of local government policies on promoting inclusive urban planning and identify areas for improvement.
