This paper assesses the impact of peri-urbanisation on housing, environmental
quality and residents’ socio-demography in Ibeju-Lekkiperi-urban in Lagos,
Nigeria. Primary data was collected through administration of 370 questionnaires
to household heads in purposively selected sixteen settlements in the study area
while secondary data was sourced from spatial images, land use maps and satellite
images of the study area. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics
while qualitative data was analysed using time series and satellite image analysis.
The result shows a spatial expansion due mainly to increased housing development,
a multi-dimensional environmental and socio-cultural challenges that impacts
negatively on the quality of living and a literate, high income group dominance in
the selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-Lekki. The study recommends a creation
of a database to capture the pattern of housing development, residents’ socioeconomic demography and infrastructure needs for intervention in policy design for
a sustainable development.
