ABSTRACT
The indiscriminate location of land uses, rapid and uncontrolled development in urban/rural areas as well as the old and new state capitals in Nigeria have resulted in urban slums, urban sprawl, traffic congestion, blight, obsolescence and overcrowding. Worst still, little or no attention is paid to their orderly growth and the demand they make on the limited land resources. Awka Capital Territory (the study area) as a new site for the New Anambra State Capital is also affected with the following development control problems: urban slums, urban sprawl, traffic congestion, blight, obsolescence and overcrowding.
This research therefore, investigates the need for effective development control measures in Awka Capital Territory of Anambra State. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated in order to facilitate the study. The research questions sought to find solution to the problems of effective development control measures in Awka Capital Territory. Two hypotheses were used to test the relationships among the following variables: contraventions (illegal developments), official government allocations and open space/recreational space preferences by households in the Territory.
