| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Urbanization in Nigeria and in Lagos State; one of the biggest states in Nigeria, in particular has affected its resident’s health adversely and this may have had an effect on the present reduced average life expectancy of Lagosians to 52.2 years. Currently, available data have shown that only less than 5% of its population are 60 years and above. This research reports on the adverse impact of urbanization and various steps that can be taken to ameliorate these impacts in Nigeria with a focus on Lagos state, Nigeria as a case study. Findings shows that urbanization has adversely impacted the health of inhabitants of the places reviewed and has grossly increased the public health problems in such urban areas. This project uses mixed methods research design with a broad range of data-collection methods across all the 20 local government areas in Lagos Nigeria. Questionnaire, Household surveys, Snowball sampling, Focus group, Direct observation, Photography, documentary review and policy document analysis were used in the data collation. This study establishes the direct connection between urbanization and its severe negative environmental impacts, including pollution, deforestation, wetland destruction, severe traffic congestion, erosion and flooding, urban sprawl, slum and squatter settlement, heat island and aesthetic degradation, which have had dire consequences on both human, environment and other living organisms. The study advocates policies that improve the socio-economic conditions of the urban poor and promote their better health. Results from this study encourages urban dwellers and Nigeria as a nation to become better informed about the challenges that may arise when urbanization occurs in their regions without the required social and infrastructural support. |
