dc.description.abstractThis study focused on the assessment of landscape planning practices in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, with a focused on creating sustainable environments. The study explores the interconnection between effective landscape management and the pursuit of sustainability objectives in the context of Ibadan's rapid urbanization. The city grapples with various environmental issues, such as inadequate urban infrastructure, depletion of natural resources, and diminishing biodiversity. The goal of this investigation is to assess the current landscape planning strategies in Ibadan and propose methods for integrating principles of sustainable development into these strategies. Comprehensive methodology was adopted such as case studies and comparative evaluations, the study demonstrated how sustainable landscape planning methods was contributed to strengthened urban resilience, lessening carbon footprints, and enhancing public health results. Furthermore, the research assessed the efficacy of existing landscape planning frameworks and their incorporation of ecological, social, and economic factors. The results indicate a lack of cohesive planning endeavors and insufficient involvement of the public in decision-making processes, both of which impede the potential for sustainable outcomes. The study underscored the significance of integrating input from local communities and traditional knowledge into landscape planning activities to ensure their cultural relevance and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the paper deliberated on the importance of incorporating green infrastructure, such as green parks, gardens (Zoological Garden, botanical garden etc.) and green corridors, to bolster urban resilience, combat the impacts of climate change, and provide critical ecosystem services. Recommendations were put forth for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders to formulate inclusive landscape strategies that prioritize sustainability, conservation of biodiversity, and community well-being. By evaluating the current landscape planning status and its implications for sustainability in Ibadan, this study contributed to the broader dialogue on urban planning in Nigeria and presents valuable insights for other cities confronting similar challenges.
