Book Description
Assisted by globalization and the rapid application of advanced technologies, the transformative power of urbanization is being felt around the world. The scale and the speed of existing and projected urbanization poses several challenges to researchers in multiple disciplines, such as computer science, engineering, and the social sciences. Optimizing Regional Development Through Transformative Urbanization provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of applications within urban growth interventions. It also explores the strategies for new urban development tools such as the rise of new platforms for digital activities, concepts of sharing economy, collaborative economy, crowdsourcing, and crowdfunding. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as cryptocurrencies, public-private partnership, and urban governance, this book is a vital reference for city development planners, decision makers, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and professionals seeking current research on the delivery of transformative urbanization changes.

Book Description
This book discusses the concept and practice of a smart metropolitan region, and how smart cities promote healthy economic and spatial development. It highlights how smart metropolitan regional development can energize, reorganize and transform the legacy economy into a smart economy; how it can help embrace Information and Communications Technology (ICT); and how it can foster a shared economy. In addition, it outlines how the five pillars of the third industrial revolution can be achieved by smart communities. In addition, the book draws on 16 in-depth city case studies from ten countries to explore the state of the art regarding the smart economy in smart cities – and to apply the lessons learned to shape smart metropolitan economic and spatial development.

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, University of Nigeria (CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL), course: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL, language: English, abstract: The hypotheses formulated here are, that the indicators of environmental health hazards and housing development as measured by the number of houses are not significant in the slums of Abuja, that the spread of health devastating diseases and ramshackle developed houses are not significant in the slum areas and that the Environmental Health Hazards does not differ significantly among the slum areas. Secondary source of data collection such as written source materials and primary source of data collection, which include participant observation, questionnaire, oral interview and laboratory work, were employed to collect data. The sample size number was firstly determined using Yaro Yamani formula. Yaro Yamani formula is donated as: n = population/ 1+population (significance level)2. This gave 400 questionnaires. But four-hundred questionnaires were just 0.75% of the total estimated average household. In other to get a sample size that represents at least two percent of the total estimated average household size, it was done by finding two percent of an estimated average household size in each of the slums. So, 1067 questionnaire that amount to two percent of the total estimated average household were randomly distributed to the dwellers of ten sampled slum areas of Abuja and 652 were retrieved. After the analyses, the Principal Component Analysis produce factor scores of environmental health hazards and housing development from different slums, which shows that the indicators of environmental health hazards in the form of dirty drains and open waste dumps increase with houses and house hold numbers. The PCA further produce factor score of the occurrence of health devastating diseases and ramshackle developed houses in the slums of Abuja, which shows that health devastating diseases increase with high number of ramshackle developed houses. Also the result of one way ANOVA conducted shows that the calculated F Value for all the heavy metals in the soil are less than the Critical F Value of 4.76 at 3and 6 degree of freedom with confident level of 0.05 The analysis also shows that the calculated significant level is above 99% in all the variables, meaning that the rate of environmental health hazards in form of heavy metal concentrations in the soil does not differ significantly among the slums. These findings show that the indicator of environmental hazards does not affect the rate of housing development in the various

Book Description
This paper assesses the nature of land administration service delivery in Nigeria using data collected from three sets of participants in land administration processes: 76 service providers, 253 beneficiaries, and 172 professionals. The data were collected from eight states selected from the six geopolitical zones of the country—Cross River, Benue, Bauchi, Ekiti, Enugu, Kaduna, and Lagos states, plus the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja). These were chosen because they are considered to have advanced land administration systems. Our findings show that land registration processes in Nigeria take a long time: nearly 80 percent of beneficiaries and 41 percent of professionals responded that land registration took more than two years to complete after first apply-ing. This difference between beneficiaries and professionals may stem from the fact that many professionals, who gener-ally are better educated, may know more about the application process than do beneficiaries and are able to navigate the process more efficiently. Land registration information guidelines seem to be rarely available to the public. Consequently, the dominant means of access to land administration institutions is through direct contact. Coordination among govern-ance structures put in place by states for land administration also was found to be poor, especially in Bauchi and Enugu states, where very low levels of cooperation on issues related to land administration reforms were observed.

Book Description
This book explores residential satisfaction and housing policy trends in developing nations by using subsidised low-income housing examples in South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria as case studies. While there has been much documentation on the formation of residential satisfaction and the evolution of housing policy in developed nations, relatively little has been written about these topics in developing nations. This book provides readers with two major practical insights: The first is focused on the theoretical underpinning of residential satisfaction and the formation of residential satisfaction in subsidised low-income housing through the development of a conceptual framework, while the second is focused on housing policy evolution and its trends in South Africa. In this section of the book, comparative overviews of public housing in two West African countries are provided with an emphasis on the philosophical basis for its development in these countries. The central aim of the book is to provide readers with ideas on residential satisfaction formation and housing policy trends in South Africa.

Book Description
This book presents a holistic picture of Nigeria's financial services landscape. This includes identifying service providers and regulatory bodies, understanding consumer behaviour, and examining the unique challenges faced by Nigerian financial institutions. The book presents up-to-date research on recent developments and regulatory changes within Nigeria's financial sector, as well as future considerations for how financial services and financial inclusion can play a crucial role in the country's sustainable economic growth. Combining academic analysis with practical insights, the book takes readers through Nigeria's key financial services providers, regulators, consumers, marketing strategies and challenges. A core focus throughout is on financial inclusion and the opportunities associated with reaching financially underserved or excluded populations, demonstrating how increasing financial access at a country-wide level aligns with global goals of reducing inequalities and promoting growth. It will have interdisciplinary appeal to scholars, students and professionals working in finance, economics, business, public policy and development studies.
