Abstract
The Problem Of Urbanization In Nigeria Relates More To Effectiveness Of Implementation Than Plausibility Of Urban Development Plan. This Reality Prompted Authors To Intensify Debate On Various Implementation Paradigms That Could Help In Realizing The Goal Of Urban Developmental Plan And In Solving Myriads Of Problems Associated With Rising Urbanization In The Country. This Study Contributes To That Debate By Making A Case For Innovation, Inclusion And Partnership As Plausible Drivers Of The HABITAT III New Urban Agenda. Using A Stakeholder Analysis Of Qualitative Data Obtained Through Focus-group Interview And Content-analyzed, The Study Examined The Responses Of Key Stakeholders In The Industry On Plausible HABITAT III Implementation Paradigms Within The Bounds Of Innovation, Inclusion And Partnership. Findings Revealed That Shared Perspectives On Innovation, Inclusion And Partnership Have Potentials To Drive Successful Implementation Of The HABITAT III Urban Agenda. The Author, Based On The Study Findings, Postulates That The Trio Of Innovation, Inclusion And Partnership Are Plausible Drivers Of Successful Implementation Of The New Urban Agenda. Further Studies (particularly Time Series Studies) Are, However, Needed to Empirically Test the Postulate and Establish Relationships between the Variables (innovation, Inclusion And Partnership) And Milestone In Implementation Of The HABITAT III Urban Agenda In The Country.
