Code for a Sustainable Built Environment in Nigeria: A Proposed High-Level Vision of a Policy Framework

Abstract

The report has outlined the details of Nigeria’s current and future policy framework. Building on that, the report then critically reviewed the framework in relation to the approach taken in other regions, particularly the UK. Finally, the report attempted to produce a high level vision of a sustainable built environment policy framework for Nigeria. If it is agreed that most policies are not focused on the built environment even when emissions from the built environment, as evidenced by cement production, is experiencing a sharp increase, the Nigerian government should make efforts at designing a specialized policy framework for the built environment
