dc.description.abstractThe planning of urban areas without consideration for environmental and socio-economic factors results in poor living conditions. Sustainable urban development requires achieving and maintaining a balanced development and environmental goals through better management and governance. Planning quality environment can be achieved and sustained when the environment is seen as a system. This research focuses on urban governance and management in relation to the socio-economic and environmental conditions in residential areas of metropolitan Lagos. 498 Questionnaires were randomly administered to residents in eight (8) wards of the Agege L.G.A to sample their opinions on the inherent nature of urban management and problems of governance in the study area. There was also personal interview with local government personnel for validity of data collected. Among major problems identified by the study are conversion/change of building uses from purely residential to mixed use, large household sizes, predominantly low income areas which have resulted into informal sector environment that has positively affected tax generation by Agege local government council. This change could improve the social-economic and environmental conditions of the study area.en_US
