AN ASSESSMENT OF HOUSING CONDITION IN DORAYI DISTRICT GWALE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KANO-STATE
Abstract
Housing has been the basic need of mankind providing not only shelter but also private and dynamic setting for much social activities and interactions. The problem of housing has become an everyday discussion in all quarters of the public and private sectors of the African countries. It has become glaringly clear that most of the urban population lives in dehumanizing housing environment while those that have access to average housing do so at a very high cost. The expensive nature of housing compels low income and middle income earners to resort to live in dilapidated housing and structures that are often congested and unfit for normal liveability. Provision of housing requires huge capital outlay and the financial requirement on the part of the developers both in the private and public sectors for the provision of housing is to say the least enormous.
