Urbanization, with its accompanying population growth and city expansion, presents opportunities for economic growth and improved infrastructure but also challenges such as infrastructure strain, social inequalities, and cultural erosion. Historicism, which integrates historical context and cultural heritage into contemporary planning, provides a valuable framework for addressing these challenges. The principal aim of this research is to explore how historicism can guide sustainable urban development in Bida, leveraging its rich cultural heritage and historical legacy. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining historical analysis with qualitative research methods. Data was collected through interviews with local government officials, community leaders, and residents, as well as through the review of historical documents and urban planning records. Key findings reveal that while rapid urbanization in Bida has led to infrastructure deficits and governance challenges, integrating historicism into urban planning has fostered a sense of community identity and promoted heritage tourism. The study concludes that historicism offers a pathway for sustainable and culturally sensitive urbanization, emphasizing the need for comprehensive infrastructure development, enhanced service delivery, inclusive governance, and sustainable urban planning practices. Recommendations include improving infrastructure, leveraging historical and cultural assets, promoting inclusive governance, and enhancing local government capacity. This research contributes to the theoretical and empirical understanding of the interplay between historicism and urbanization, providing valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and scholars interested in sustainable urban development...Preview Download Preview +Other History and International Studies project topics and materials you might be interested in»A precolonial history of Ngbo people»The significance of law enforcement agencies on crime management in Nigeria - the Nigeria Police Force, Kogi state chapter»Evolution and development of electoral agencies in Nigeria: a case study of INEC in Kano state, 1998-2015»A history of muslim-christian activities in Fagge local government area»Missionary enterprise and the development of Ikwo economy - an appraisal of the Norwegian Church Agriculture Project (NORCAP)»A history of Hausa marriage ceremony and its transformation in Kano»The impact of Nyanya market to the development of Abuja municipal council from 1999 till date»Aspects of Ikwo colonial history from 1900 to 1960»Festival as unifying factor among Bida people - a case study of Bariki festival in 21st century»A history of western education in Minna town, 1976 - 2015»Groundnut oil production and processing in Lokoja, Kogi state - The role of women 1960 - 2000»Contemporary relations between the Tangale Kingdom and Gombe Emirate from 1960 to 2021»Investigation into the causes and effects of the Ethiopia and Eritrea war»The historical development of western education in Lemu community via Gbako lga in Niger State»Impact of poverty in Minna metropolis from 2000 - 2019
