Abstract: Abstract The city environments of tropical underdeveloped countries are frequently inadequate. Poor road systems, water supplies and health facilities, together with unhealthy housing conditions and inadequate social amenities, characterize many Nigerian cities. Ondo, a Yoruba city of moderate population, is a typical example. Rapid urbanization and population growth have resulted in an underprivileged populace living in an unsatisfactory environment.
