    This study aims to determine how successful environmental planning is in fostering sustainable urban landscapes in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Rapid urbanization and expansion offer serious environmental issues and a greater risk of climate change. Environmental planning plays an essential role in the design of urban landscapes as well as the integration of environmental concerns into urban development processes. However, its capacity to offer long-term results must be assessed. The research will employ a case study approach, concentrating on specific neighborhoods in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The objectives of this study are to examine the existing environmental planning policies, legislation, and frameworks in Abeokuta, assess their implementation, and establish their impact on supporting sustainable urban landscapes. Furthermore, the study aims to uncover important methodologies and best practices for incorporating environmental issues into urban development processes, while taking Abeokuta's specific socioeconomic and environmental conditions into account. Various research tools like Interviews, questionnaires, and discussions with significant stakeholders such as urban planners, lawmakers, environmental agencies, community leaders, and people will be used to collect primary data. The data will be analyzed subjectively and statistically to identify trends and themes related to the effectiveness of Abeokuta's environmental planning. Natural resource preservation, green space management, environmental hazard reduction, and climate resilience enhancement will all be covered in the evaluation of sustainable urban landscapes. The study will also investigate the challenges and barriers to adopting environmental planning initiatives and the possibilities for improvement. The outcomes of the study will provide light on the efficacy of environmental planning in promoting sustainable urban landscapes in Abeokuta. The recommendations and best practices from the study will serve as a reference for policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders interested in improving environmental planning and encouraging sustainable urban growth in Abeokuta and maybe other comparable cities.
