“…The architectural landscape in many cities throughout Nigeria has changed since the 1970s, largely dominated by mass housing production schemes implemented by the public sector [21], [28]. The oil boom in the mid-70s boosted the country's economy and in turn the government, for the first time, participated actively in the provision of housing for all income groups.…”

“…The oil boom in the mid-70s boosted the country's economy and in turn the government, for the first time, participated actively in the provision of housing for all income groups. This led to the housing sector becoming more involved in turn-key projects built on the premise that energy was cheap and as a result form became more important than performance in the building design [28].…”

“…Since the mid-1990s more records of the climatic conditions have become available as the city has become one of the largest urban areas in Nigeria. However, despite the availability of such records and the global interest in climate conscious architecture, the prototypes for low-income housing in the schemes that were developed as part of Abuja's master plan over 30 years ago are still in use today as a blueprint for housing developments [28]. Thus, the homogeneous nature of public housing design has partially negated the possibility of improvements towards more energy efficient dwellings.…”

“…In the long run, residents do not necessarily have to make changes, once built, to make such places suitable to live in. Further, in Niger State Public Housing, the changes or alterations made to public housing after they have been occupied by the users are evident and are termed re-configurations, conversions, addition, and extension of spaces (Isah et al, 2015). These changes can lead to the loss of architectural composition of the housing and the aesthetic landscape the housing is meant to convey to give the users a feeling of satisfaction in owning a house.…”

This study investigates liveability in the context of sustainable public housing in Niger State, Nigeria, where existing housing efforts have fallen short of residents' satisfaction. Recognizing the critical link between liveability indicators and environmental sustainability, this research aims to identify key liveability variables that could be integrated into the design and construction of sustainable public housing. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study involved cluster sampling for selecting housing estates and units, followed by the administration of 910 questionnaires containing 102 questions on liveability variables. Analytical techniques, including Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Factor Analysis, and Multiple Regression Analysis, were used to group, refine, and validate the liveability variables. The results revealed 21 significant variables that collectively could achieve a 92.9% satisfaction rate among residents if incorporated into public housing design. These findings underline the potential of addressing liveability in the pursuit of sustainable housing solutions, offering insights for urban planners, architects, and policymakers. By focusing on the residents' perspectives, the study contributes to a more user-centred approach in public housing development, promoting long-term satisfaction and reducing the need for post-occupancy alterations.

Recent studies on the global ideology of public housing are significantly focused on the cultural values of inhabitants. Thus rapid transformation of originally design housing units that are based on modern standards by inhabitants is widespread. The emic and etic principles was used to evaluate existing situation where indigenous culture inclusive housing demand is on the rise. Retrospectively, established principles of emic and etic concept in directing public housing design was measured to test the synthesis- an interphase thought to provide sustainability amidst conflicting indigenous space demand and regulated homogenous designs. The study uncovered a chaotic but culture-specific genesis that comprise of formalized antecedents that can no longer be ignored, but lacks standardisation. Instead, the etic and emic interphase (convergences) remains a delusion proffering unintended solutions. Implacably, rigour in the concept of culture bonds sustainability process in public housing, hence its standardization is required to be undertaken in order to clarify and process the potentials of the alternative (the intersection) to the etic and emic approaches
