Abstract: As cities in developing countries grow quickly, there is a lot of pressure on governments and builders to provide enough good-quality housing. In Nigeria, places like Bwari in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are facing big challenges, a lot of people are moving in, there is not enough funding, basic infrastructure is lacking, and building standards often aren’t followed. This review looks at practical ways to manage large housing projects in such environments, focusing on Bwari Municipal Council. It discusses common issues like poor project planning, lack of quality control, weak involvement of key players, poor policy direction, and outdated local building methods. Using lessons from around the world and successful local examples, the paper highlights the need for better planning, trained workers, modern construction methods, and stronger policies. These are all essential if we want to meet the growing need for housing without cutting corners on quality. The goal is to give useful guidance to government officials, developers, and city planners working in areas with limited resources.
