dc.description.abstractIn Nigeria, social housing, which is fundamentally associated with the most disadvantaged people in the society, accounts for about 5% of the total housing stock. Within this percentage, a significant number of developments are lost due to reasons predominantly associated with siting and maintenance. Typically, social housing is located at urban fringes where, with barely any attention from government or developers, it is vandalized and/or abandoned. In addition to suffering the same fate (of vandalism and/or abandonment), social housing developments (infrequently) constructed at the boundaries of high(er) income neighborhoods are also often met with severe opposition from residents of such neighborhoods. This opposition has customarily led to abandonment of the project either at inception or before completion. There is scant research on understanding and developing strategies/systems to address the siting and maintenance of such developments, this is evidence that there is a knowledge gap to be filled. While this is not a novel study, it can be implied that the persistence of the problem signifies a limitation in previous studies. My research hypothesizes that if social housing developments are properly located and maintained, they will be more successful. Based on existing theories, my study seeks to create a framework to guide the siting and maintenance of social housing developments in Lagos, by considering the participation of key stakeholders.en_US
