      abstract = {Rapid urbanization on Lagos Island has exacerbated housing deficits, infrastructure challenges, and environmental stress. This study examines prefabricated construction as a sustainable alternative for mini-city development. Using a qualitative methodology rooted in literature analysis, the research evaluates the feasibility, benefits, and barriers to prefabrication adoption in Nigeria. Findings highlight time and cost efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and improved housing quality, while also identifying cultural, regulatory, and technical constraints. The study concludes that with proper policy reform, infrastructure, and public-private partnerships, prefabrication can drive sustainable urban growth on Lagos Island.},
