What is Imo State's housing and new cities development plan?
Answered by Adaure AI from official Imo State records · last updated
Under the housing and new cities development plan, Imo State aims to reduce the urban housing deficit to less than 5% by the year 2033 (Imo State Development Plan 2023–2033, p. 29). Based on baseline data showing a population of over 5.7 million in 2021 with significant urban concentration and households living in slums, the state estimated an overall housing deficit of 464,840 units, with urban areas accounting for more than 209,178 of those (Imo State Development Plan 2023–2033, p. 29). To address this, the plan's actions and milestones are benchmarked against global best practices and aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 10 and 11 (Imo State Development Plan 2023–2033, pp. 29, 29).
