he physical demonstration of the rapid growth in urbanisation in developing countries like Nigeria is often evidence of the social and economic transformations occurring in these countries. This paper aims to assess urbanisation trends, urban renewal, and sustainable urban development in Nigeria in view of the governmental policies that affect urbanisation trends, urban renewal, and sustainable urban development. The paper reviews current literature on the causes of global Urbanisation trends, the effects of urbanisation trends, and Urbanisation in Nigeria, which have resulted from rapid population growth and changes in the urban structure. By aligning urbanisation, urban renewal strategies, and policies that foster sustainable urban development with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Nigeria can work towards creating cities that promote the safety, inclusivity, resilience, and sustainability of its inhabitants.
