        abstract = {Developments in the urban communities has become issue of great concern. Urban development has been rapid with urban centres springing up from rural communities and sometimes creating an imbalance in environmental systems with attendant consequences and advantages. The study therefore explored the urban system housing development within the context of formulating framework for development, renewal and upgrading in order to achieve sustainable development in urban and rural communities. The aim of the study was to carry out a longitudinal survey of selected areas where there is occurrence of concentration of rural-urban, urban-rural settlement within the selected study areas. Block diagram and heuristic algorithm system were used as means through which factors can be selected and paired. Survey was conducted on some parameters as part of the calibrated data collation method. The parameters include evaluation of existing renewal and upgrading pattern, upgrading system, renewal strategies, and features of rural-urban growth. The developed framework would assist in eliminating accommodation challenges, employment problems and health care issues often associated with disparity in settlement growth when rural settlement metamorphosed into urban settlement},
