Abstract

Urbanization attracts numerous and multifarious challenges that transverse across nations, regions, and continents. These challenges limit the potential of the cities, making them unsatisfactory and inefficient as well as plunging some towards collapse. This paper explores a review of academic outputs on different challenges of urbanization bedeviling cities in Nigeria and identifies a porous cities management system that allows a wide gap of in-balance between numerous urban dynamics. Undesirable effects and negative outcomes such as urban disharmony, reduction in the quality of the urban environment and urban life, and limitations to the potential of the cities in meeting needs are pointed out. The perspective of achieving sustainable city development in Nigeria in terms of improving the quality of the urban environments came to the fore by recommending a smart city approach for managing city developments.
