The term residential property are building constructed to locate for shelter (i.e. to living) for both man and animal, after the day work, own is expected to sleep under his shelter for refreshment of the brain. Examples of residential property are duplex, bungalow and castle.

The morphology of any town or city in its past and present population determine the nature of social and economic activities in that town urban area search of sites thereby concentrate more workers, building and residential activities into the area. Increase in the number of people who live in urban and also the diffusion of urban life to every habitable world would be seen as one of the characteristics features of modern day life which made it necessary for the study of urban growth so as to examine why it occur, what happen, when it occurs and what impact does it have on residential property values.

Urban growth is in no doubt associated with some inherit problem which calls for an effective control that will serve as a guide to uplift the living standard of the citizen. These problems can as well be equated or compared to those prevailing in other places. It is therefore hoped that the findings of this project will help both the government investor and their likes appreciate the impact growth and also enable the government to plan ahead.

1.6 Study Area (Geographical Setting &Historical Background of the Study Area)

Location plan /sketch and constructional detail of case study.

Ilorin is the present day capital of Kwara state in the north central region of the federal republic of Nigeria. It is a predominantly Islamic city with people of diverse culture who have come together live as one in peace and harmony.

The entire Ilorin community comprise of five local government areas namely; Ilorin west, Ilorin south, Ilorin east Asa and Moro. Those local government areas are all under entity known as Ilorin emirate.

Ilorin community was discovered in the 18th century by the duo of Afonja and Are-Onakakanfo, Yoruba warlords and sheik Alimi, an Islamic scholar. These heroes of Ilorin arrived Ilorin at different times and in different circumstance.

Sheik Alimi was an Islamic missionary propagating Islam and its teaching across the lord. The sojourned for the year through village and across Yoruba land. He had followers with whom he moved around to establish the tenets and principles of Islamic. He was temporarily settled Kano village very cross to Ilorin where he built mosque and houses.

1.7 Definition of Terms

Urbanization:

The development of town or city areas and the increasing proportion of man’s activities now carried out in such area illustrated dramatically man’s ability to fashion the physical economical and social world in which he lives. Urban areas are thus very much a human invention which are many problem involved in defining the term “urban areas and also depending upon the point of view from which a study is being made the “urban area” may refer to the physical and also the geographical of an urban area and are separated from other such centre by a means of much greater area of thinly settles land.

Also the residents of places are normally although not wholly engaged in an agricultural occupation. Thus urban areas have important functions connected with those manufacturing and service activities which are performed from centralized locations. This would cover the case of an urban area whose functions were primarily the provision of services for the surrounding agricultural area.

Furthermore, throughout this and also through the following part of this project, term urban area city and town are use to mean the surrounding.

Summary, Recommendations and Conclusion

5.1 Summary

The characteristics of urban growth as observed are that it does not proceed equally everywhere. Both concentrated and dispersion is element of growth. The growth in the development of residential activities within and around upper part of Gaa-Akanbi has been a major fact responsible for the continuous influx of people into the town. The higher demand for these properties by the learning population due to more residential activities influences their value.

The growth of upper part of Gaa-Akanbi is generally concerned with the physical expansion of the town coupled with the changes in regional form are status which accompanies the growth of the town. Thus, the discovery conversion and haphazard development of residential properties in some central parts and indeed in some satellite towns as a result of population explosion has been attributed to the inability of planning authority in this area.

5.2 Recommendations

1. Having discussed about urban growth and its subsequent effect on commercial property values it is therefore necessary to forward the following recommendations which if properly implemented will surely reduce the problems discussed and improve efficiency to some extent. There is actually a need for government to accept a more strategy to measure the impact of demographic trend upon the urban growth so as to plan ahead of time for the needs of the very growing population. This requires not only the measure of natural increase of population but also judgment as to the nature of future migration and mobility within the town.
2. The government should also concentrate in the form of new schools, extension of roads and possible parts of the satellite towns formed at the upper fringes. This would not only enhances the value of the properties located in this areas but also ensure good urban planning and which encourage investors to develop better and sound residential properties. This would also attract activities and invariably increase job opportunities and also reduce the rate of migration in the areas.
3. The high interest charged on loan especially to developers by banks should also be softened so as to enable developers to secure more loans for the production of more class residential properties at a lesser rents.
   It should be however be noted that characteristics of urban growth and its problems in upper part of Gaa-Akanbi area contained many element comparable to those prevailing in other residential town in Nigeria. Thus, the generalization made from this analysis can however be applicable to the situation in the country ever.

5.3 Conclusion

In conclusion, it is pertinent to look at the conception of urban growth which involves gives rise to different set of values to the landed properties a successful proves in the proceeding chapters. From the research, it was established that rent on residential properties have been on the increase in population due to the inter play of this area. This shows that urban growth has a positive effect on residential properties in upper part of Gaa-Akanbi. The limited supply of land coupled with speculation which is believed to be a speedy act of the speculators into finding alternative sites, round the periphery of the town along the major transport routes to the town where value are relatively lower which in the long run give rise to the increase in residential activities in the urban fringes. It is therefore hoped that the findings of these project will go a long way to help the government and investors to appreciate the impact of urban growth and in particular enable the government to plan ahead which is the long run give rise to the increase in residential activities in the urban fringes. It is therefore hoped that the findings of these project will go a long way to help the government and investors to appreciate the impact of urban growth and in particular enables the government to plan ahead.
