Abstract
Reviews the development of town and country planning and
administration in Nigeria from the colonial period to the present. The
British colonial administration, with its religious and missionary zeal,
created the cultural, social and ideological premisses of modern town
and country planning and administration in Nigeria. Different land uses
were established without proper planning. These primary initiatives saw
the emergence and formalization of physical planning and planning
legislation. Planning in the country is still redundant and unable to
cope with urban and regional development problems. Inadequate social
accounts, local planning theories, models, and professional planning
education, and a lack of financial resources and statutory legitimacy
are the major planning problems. Conclusions, suggestions and
recommendations are made encouraging planners to be more proactive.
