Vertical Architecture Construction for
Public Housing Delivery in Lagos Megacity
%X From a population of over 16 million, the people of Lagos State is expected to
grow to 32.6 million citizens by 2050. Considering that its landmass remains
relatively constant at 3577 Km2, there is an urgent need to innovate in the
public housing. This study was aimed at evaluating the drivers and barriers to
vertical architecture construction for public housing delivery in Lagos
megacity. The study utilized a cross-sectional survey research design using a
questionnaire instrument. A total of 150 construction professionals were
selected using a quota-purposive sampling technique within Lagos megacity.
Statistical tools of mean score tests, principal component analysis (PCA), and
categorical regression (CAT-REG) were utilized. Significant drivers and barriers
of vertical architecture construction in public housing delivery in Lagos
megacity were identified. Therefore, the study made several recommendations
toward actualization of vertical architecture construction for public housing
delivery.
