Public spaces are major subsets of an anthropological settlement, which provide vistas for social interaction, cultural transmission, and economic enterprise. In Nigeria’s rapid infrastructural development, the planning of public spaces seems to overlook the various needs of the communities that will use such spaces. This study focuses on communities’ involvement in the birthing of public spaces through participatory design in Nigeria. It focuses on how these participatory processes can influence the urban landscape towards creating a more inclusive, culturally sensitive, and ecologically sound human habitat.

Container housing has emerged as a viable alternative in modern construction, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution to address housing shortages and urbanisation challenges. This research explores the construction mechanisms involved in container housing, focusing on how shipping containers can be adapted as habitable spaces. The study analyzes four case studies: the Proposed Tech Hub at Heliu Health and Tourism District in Enugu, Nigeria; Container City in London, UK; Container House by Plannea Arquitectura in Chile; and KODA by Kodasema in Estonia. Each case demonstrates unique design elements, construction techniques, and modifications specific to local environmental and regulatory contexts.
