| dc.description.abstract | Therefore, this chapter will examine the role of religious institutions in changing land-use patterns and urban planning in Lagos. It will ‘deep dive’ into case studies of top-down (enclave urbanism/prayer cities) and bottom-up (transient conversion of religious buildings) planning. The goal is to assess how Pentecostal congregations are shaping the urban environment and under which urban-planning conditions. The chapter will begin with a literature review of the interface between religion and urban land-use planning; proceed to examine some of the religion–urbanization–planning linkages in Lagos; and then, through the case studies, highlight the various contexts of religious-inspired urban transformation and the response of the relevant planning institutions. It will conclude with a discussion of the emerging thematic issues and provide some recommendations for conciliating across the gaps identified. | en_US |
