The book "Gated Communities in Nigeria" by O'tega Muoghereh offers a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of gated communities in Nigeria, particularly in the metropolis of Lagos. It highlights the various factors contributing to the growth of these communities, including security concerns, lifestyle, status, and the pursuit of community. At the same time, it addresses the issues of urban space fragmentation and the deterioration of public spaces due to the privatization of public areas. The study shows how the unequal distribution of crime in Lagos prompts residents to live in protected communities, leading to an increase in such communities in the city and beyond. The book is a valuable resource for professionals and students of architecture, as well as for anyone interested in urban development and social dynamics in Nigeria.
