Urban and rural areas are diametrically opposed but related phenomena. It is often difficult to ascertain where the rural areas end and where the city begins; because in city’s growth process, the surrounding countryside is absorbed. Part of it disappears forever, but many of its elements are preserved, fitting into the urban environment with marked differences of infrastructure facilities. These Community infrastructures are the framework of physical facilities needed to support and sustain inhabitants to live and work. However, rural societies suffer neglect. Many elderly people retire and return to rural areas for the comfort, slow and communal lifestyle it offers. Yet, as the world advances at a rapid pace, rural areas and people are left behind. Employing a qualitative literature review, the study delves into the current state of rural infrastructure development in Nigeria, and review various programmes implemented by the government in years past. The findings reveal three phases of rural infrastructural development. It highlights the issues and challenges stemming from the neglect of rural infrastructural needs, and the role of architecture in facilitating urban-rural development. It concludes that focus must be turned to rural areas with architects playing significant role in advancing the quality of rural life. Keywords: Infrastructure facilities, Rural development, Architecture, Environment, Urban-rural.

Quality of living conditions refer to the general well-being of individuals and societies, which includes education, family health, employment, wealth, satisfaction, safety, religious belief, freedom, etc. This research paper deals with spatial variation of quality of living regarding various basic services and amenities in selected blocks of Murshidabad district in West Bengal, India. A composite index was developed based on 19 indicators to measure the actual scenario of the living condition of households there. Different indices, such as the human capital index, financial capital index, physical capital index and housing index, have been used to measure block-level disparity and were categorised based on composite score value. As expected, the level of development is unequal, with vast areas of backwardness interspersed with micro zones of development. The findings reveal that the northern part of this region is more developed as compared with other parts of this region. The quality of living and development of a particular region depends not only upon a single criterion but also on the interplay of several socio-economic factors that determine that region’s development level. This study suggests that the backward blocks need urgent improvement in most indicators to enhance the households’ living conditions.

This study used both purposive and stratified sampling techniques, the contribution of regional integration on financing infrastructural project, and regional policy on infrastructural management and technical skills in Côte d’Ivoire was assessed. The study found that over 80 per cent of respondents agreed that regional integration would increase infrastructural project financing evidenced by the country-specific plan for 2020–2022 under the African Development Bank. Moreover, 69 per cent of respondents agreed that the impacts of regional policy on infrastructural management and technical skill have positive effect on the economic development in Côte d’Ivoire. However, there was a significant difference (chi-square value = 0.042, p < 0.05) between the level of education and perception on policy, while the relationship between infrastructure financing and education level was insignificant. Despite the number of challenges limiting regional integration, there are more opportunities through continental and regional programmes and political willpower of Côte d’Ivoire for a successful integration. The study recommends that awareness of regional integration be increased to enhance the knowledge of citizens for easy adoption of regional policy into national activities for infrastructural development.
