Inclusive Design (ID) is a paradigm that is hinged on the basic need to accommodate the variegated needs of all individuals, irrespective of their age, ability, and social and financial status as they interact with a livable space. As urbanization accelerates across our clime, the need for accessible, equitable, and user-centred spaces has become increasingly crucial. Even though the Nigerian built space is making concerted efforts to latch into the philosophy of Inclusive Design (ID), there are still observable shortfalls in the adoption of associated inclusivity strategies in its housing development schemes.

This article presents a comprehensive narrative review exploring the intricate relationship between architecture, social housing, and Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG-11) in Nigeria. The narrative review method was chosen for its ability to provide a broad, in-depth analysis by synthesising and critically evaluating existing literature.
