The challenges associated with integrating technology to achieve an efficient sustainability in environmental planning, and management has been the utmost concern of the researchers and professionals in built environment globally. This has equally been a major issue among the environmentalists and allied professionals in developing countries such as Nigeria. Consequently, this paper relied on extensive literature search through published books, journals, and periodicals. It critically explores the influencing role plays by science and technology in a sustainable environment integrated with appropriate open space planning and management.

In view of this, desirous efforts will be geared towards matching up with open space planning and managements, as already been practised in the developed countries.
