Opis

This study assesses the spontaneous housing transformation with private residential houses in southwest Nigeria. Housing transformation is a work in progress on an existing building (Tipple, 2000). Housing as an asset undergoes several processes of transformation in the life time of the building. The transformations are for different purposes over time. Spontaneous physical housing changes are transformation practices where house owners carried out alterations, extensions, modifications or additions to the original patterns of their houses, including the immediate environment in an unorganised manner without recourse to how the transformation impacts on the urban residents.
