dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the factors influencing peri-urban housing development in Lagos with focus on the drivers of rapid spatial changes in the case studies of Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu, both rapidly urbanizing peri-urban settlements in Lagos,Nigeria. Data was collected through primary source by administration of 373 and 384 questionnaires to household heads in purposively selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-lekki and in Ikorodu, Lagos respectively. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The result shows that major factors influencing peri- urban housing development in the study area are land affordability, low cost of living, easy linkage, proximity to the urban centre and provision of better quality housing through exclusive gated housing development. The study recommends a re-classification of Lagos peri-urban settlements based on change in land use due to housing development. This can be achieved through an appropriate policy design for improved infrastructural development and also to curtail unsustainable development patternen_US
