Nigeria’s Major Urban Centres
Hayin Danyaro is an urban community of almost 300 occupied compounds (approx. 1,500 pop.) in the Samaru area of Zaria (pop. approx. 1m) in Nigeria. It has spontaneously grown out of the expansion of the Samaru-University district. Zaria is the second largest urban area of Kaduna State, after the capital city of Kaduna. Hayin Danyaro is typical of the spontaneous (informal) urban growth taking place on Nigeria’s urban fringes. Case Study Location: Approximately 260 Kms north of Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja.

CONCLUSION
The triple therapy approach rests on the following arguments:
a. Slums are indicators of shortcomings in the economy.
b. Mere physical removal of slums equates to treatment ofsymptoms rather than causes.
c. Responsive economic policies needed to empowerhouseholds to own and maintain homes.
d. Helping households with formal titles to use as collateral isbasic argument. But most families lack knowledge and skillsto negotiate land rights or package investment proposals.

Challenges as Change Opportunities
A Resilience Urban Planning Approach
v2.2
Resilience: A General Definition“Resilience is the capacity of a social-ecological system (SES) to absorb or withstand perturbations and other stressors such that the system remains within the same regime, essentially maintaining its structure and functions. It describes the degree to which the system is capable of self-organization, learning & adaptation

Challenges as Change Opportunities
Implications for Practice & Policy
v2.2
Adapting to Challenges: Changing to fit with local limitations/realities.
Informal Economy DominantMost daily transactions take place out of sight/reach of ‘government’
Lack of Basic Service CapacitySWM, Traffic Management, Utilities, Public Transport
No City-level AdministrationCity Administration & services divided between State and LGAs
No Detailed Record-keepingAd-hoc Management; No Learning, Data, KPIs – no consistent framework
Problems/Limitations Opportunities/Strategies
Learn from Local Systems Networks & Operations. Attune Government to ‘Peoples’ informal ways
Government should Limit Scope of services, focus on core/basics; i.e. Revenue Generation & Maintenance
Governor can Exercise RightLand Use Act: Designate Urban Areas and create appropriate City Structure
Engage Local (Community) LeadersMai Unguwa etc. collect local data, for upward official collation & analysis

Conclusions & Recommendations
Defining Housing ‘Affordability’ (I)
v2.2
1. Embracing the Informal
ENABLING LOCAL LAND MARKETS
ABU Zaria
CSIS
Embracing the Informal ‘Market’
Most Nigerians, most of the time, can and do live and operate outside of the government’s knowledge or influence.
The (informal) ‘market’ finds solutions for most of the daily challenges of life (education, health, transport, water, electricity etc.) and this dynamic should be nurtured & adapted, not crushed.
Formal solutions should only be employed if/when they produce better outcomes, not normatively or unreflectively imposed from top-down.
Recommendation 1: Informal Market Reform
Government should Embrace the Informal;
Lead or Follow; Always Seek Accommodation.
Conclusions & Recommendations
Defining Housing ‘Affordability’ (II)
v2.2
2. Enabling Local Land Markets
Government the Great Enabler The Post-’National Cake’ Era Demands a Paradigm-Shift from Government as ‘The Great Provider’ towards Government as ‘The Great Enabler’
Trust ‘The People’Development has been defined as:
‘Catching People Doing Something Right’
Level Playing FieldIf all Cities have a ‘100% C of O’ Policy, the Land Market will WORK
ENABLING LOCAL LAND MARKETS
ABU Zaria
CSIS
Government’s Role:
Changing From
‘Great Provider’
To
‘Great Enabler’
GOVERNANCE REDEFINEDRecommendation 2: Enablement Strategy
Trust the People, Manage the Market;
Least-Cost, Least-Intervention Approach
Conclusions & Recommendations
Defining Housing ‘Affordability’ (III)
v2.2
3. Defining ‘Affordable’ Housing in the Nigerian Context
’Affordability’ is ContextualEach Segment of the Housing Market has its own Threshold and Definition.
Land ‘Allocation’ Distorts MarketsGovernment Intervention and Eminent Domain should be Minimal/Necessary
Top-Down or Bottom-Up? No. Both.Drive DOWN a Formal/Institutional approach, whilst Capacity-Building UP
Housing Reflects Wider EconomyHousing, Affordable or Otherwise, does not Operate Independently of Economy

So, What is
Affordable Housing
In the
Nigerian Context?
IT DEPENDS!
Recommendation 3: Context-Dependent
We should take a Case-by-Case Approach;
Tackle Issues Relevant to each Segment.
Thanks for your attention!
