This research seeks to investigate the University of Lagos, South west Nigeria, and its various surrounding communities using urban design as a social engineering tool to reverse their current conflicting edge conditions into a symbiotic advantageous relationship. This would be geared at refocusing urban movement patterns from the current motorized priority circumstance to adapting the Non-Motorized Transport (N.M.T.) guidelines to redefine neighborhoods into spatial equality communities. Pedestrian priority movement would be established through coding and other urban design tools, theories, and statutory guidelines.enThesis
