Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Housing and Real Estate
Abstract
Over the past decades, the rapid rate of urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa has accentuated a number of urban challenges especially in the area of housing and housing market. This study examined the demand in the informal housing market in Ibadan metropolis with a view of providing a possible way out to mitigate the negative impact. The research method uses both narrative and statistically descriptive in nature which entails intensive literature review in the informal housing sector and the housing market. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for analysis in this study. At the end, the study expected to explain influence of market forces in the informal housing market and how Issues such as low income household constraints, tenure security, cross-market infiltration impacts the supply and demand of informal housing.
