Abstract
As a result of urbanisation, green fields in urban Lagos are being lost to urban development, with more open spaces being encroached. Tafawa Balewa Square's bordering racecourse has recently been misused and is now being landscaped as a concrete jungle. The poor quality of ancient open spaces in Lagos state is aptly demonstrated by the degradation of Lagos Marina by overhead bridges and the coastal erosion that erased the Lagos Bar Beach on Victoria Island to coastal erosion. To improve architectural sustainability: a case study focuses on Metropolitan Lagos. The qualitative analysis method compares the study area's built-up area to the land area initially designated for open space in the original plan. This study found that residents' social, economic, and cultural activities interact in complicated ways in open spaces, which serves as justification for using the location or nearby building.
