Urban growth or sprawl is simply the expansion of towns and cities. The study discovers that there is a dearth of infrastructure around the study area. The genesis of this could be attributed to the fact that most plots in the area are not government designated layouts. The area initially falls within a rural setting and that makes the acquisition of land easier because landowners are at liberty to sell their farm lots at an improved value or face the risk of revocation of the right of occupancy by the government in the event of designating layouts to accommodate the expanding city. This research work has some suggestions for the analysis of urban sprawl in Gwale local government of Kano state. These include The need to develop and or update the Master plan for Gwale metropolis taking into cognizance the future development requirements. The need for periodic measuring and forecasting changes in land use so that its attendant infrastructural requirements can be met adequately. Such measuring and forecasting should be conducted at five year interval. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Urban and Regional Planning project topics and materials you might be interested in»The impact of small-scale industries in rural areas (a case study of Umunwarahu village in Obodoukwu, Ideato north Local Government Area of Imo state»Residents perception on housing quality (a case study of Imo housing estate, Umuguma)»Public perception of solid waste management in Trans-Amadi industrial area of Port-Harcourt»A dissertation proposal on impact of citizen participation in community development (a case study of Ibeku in Aboh Mbaise L.G.A Imo state)»A study on the impact of soil erosion and control strategies - a case study of Idah town in Idah local government area, Kogi state»To assess the performance of Sagbama local government council in the development of Sagbama communities»A history of industrialization in Kano state between 1967 - 2007»Impact of urban expansion on infrastructure - a case study of Etiosa local government area, Lagos state, Nigeria»Analysis of urban sprawl in Gwale LGA, Kano state»The effects of industrial solid waste disposal on the environment in Trans-amadi industrial area of Portharcourt»The effects of overcrowding on housing quality (a case study of Akwakuma Owerri north, Imo state»Impact of urban expansion of Owerri on the surrounding hinterlands (a case study of Amakohia)»Intercity transportation (a case study of Transport Corpration of Anambra State (TRACAS) Awka»A study of accidents at road junction»Assessment of encroachment on floodplain along river Kubanni Zaria, Kaduna state
