Abstract

Culture sensitive communities particularly in developing communities are yet to come in terms of the provision strategies of public housing. Nigeria is faced with challenges in both quality and quantity of public housing delivery. Overwhelmed by users’ persistent dissatisfaction of initial provisions, control levels are used to project ‘ownership’ as crucial in households’ derivation of housing satisfaction in the process of housing transformation. The study identified unbroken link between urban migrants and their root and went further to identify the major ethnic groups in the study context. The study thereafter related the desire for indigenousness in urban public housing by inhabitants.
