“…Urbanization in Nigeria can be traced back to the early nineteenth century (Mabogunje, 1968), and quick urbanization is one of the serious causes of LULC change, especially in developing countries such as Nigeria (Obiefuna et al, 2013). Also, urbanization in Lagos was estimated to increase by 56% in 2030 (Abiodun et al, 2017). Similarly, Dung-Gwom et al (2008) projected a population of over 24 million for Lagos by 2020.…”

<p>The perception of land use change dynamics is important for sustainable land resource management in developing countries such as Nigeria where most of the people depend on natural resources from the land for their livelihoods. Globally, land use and land cover (LULC) change is a major factor of environmental and climate change; rapid urban growth has caused some environmental problems such as loss of agricultural land, land degradation, water shortage, and pollution. This dissertation examines LULC change and urbanization, and the implications on sustainable development (SD) in Lagos Nigeria using spatial analysis. The dissertation contains three inter-related studies as follows: first research examines the urban sprawl and growth prediction for Lagos using GlobeLand30 product combined with GIS and Cellular Automata model. The next study ascertains land use change and impacts on urban and rural areas utilizing landscape metrics (LMs) and FRAGSTATS algorithm for statistical analysis. The final study reviews the agricultural land use and urban sustainability. This study demonstrated the efficiency of GlobeLand30 data and GIS integration with CA_Markov for LULC change analysis and prediction of future LULC scenarios. This research has shown that LMs are universal, potent, and useful to understand the spatial pattern of LULC change in urban-rural context. In conclusion, the outcomes of this study will help the urban planners, policymakers, and the governments in Nigeria to make crucial informed decisions about sustainable urban growth and improved land use management.</p>

“…Lagos State is increasingly seen as a modern city and the increasing pace of rural-urban migration is a main contributive factor. In existing literature, large cities in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Mexico, and Mumbai have reportedly experienced development that has led to urbanization, while Abiodun et al (2017) estimated that urbanization in Lagos would increase by 56% by 2030.…”

In this paper, we analyze some correlates of urbanization in Lagos resulting from rural‐urban migration. We provide empirical evidence to show that the gross domestic product of Lagos State is insignificant in determining the pace of rural‐urban led urbanization. However, urbanization significantly reduces as state government expenditure on housing and modern health is increased. Conversely, urbanization rises when the state government increases spending on education and transportation. Therefore, education and modern transportation provisions by the government of Lagos are critical toward urbanization drive of the State.
