Abstract

The rapid urbanization in Nigeria has resulted in significant environmental challenges, including increased greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and the depletion of natural resources. Sustainable urban transformation is essential to address these issues and ensure a resilient future for Nigerian cities. Green building practices emerge as a pivotal approach to achieving this transformation by promoting energy efficiency, resource conservation, and improved indoor environmental quality. This essay explores the importance of green buildings in fostering sustainable urban development in Nigeria, highlighting their benefits, challenges, civil engineering proposals, and the path forward.
