THE INTEGRATION OF A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FACILITY IN AROMA AXIS, AWKA, ANAMBRA STATE:A CASE OF SERIOUS NEGLECT OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ATTENTION AND POOR ZONING OF SETTLEMENTS.

Abstract:
This abstract examines the challenges associated with the integration of a mixed-use development facility in Aroma Axis, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. The case study highlights the serious neglect of urban development attention and poor zoning of settlements, which have negatively impacted the successful establishment and operation of the facility.

The integration of mixed-use development is a crucial aspect of urban planning, aiming to create vibrant, sustainable, and livable communities. However, the Aroma Axis in Awka, Anambra State, presents a prime example of inadequate urban planning and zoning practices. The neglect of urban development attention has resulted in the absence of proper infrastructure, inadequate transportation systems, and a lack of public amenities in the area.

Furthermore, the poor zoning of settlements has further compounded the challenges faced in integrating the mixed-use development facility. Inadequate land-use planning and zoning regulations have led to the haphazard placement of residential, commercial, and industrial activities, resulting in conflicts, congestion, and a lack of coherence in the urban fabric.

Consequently, the integration of the mixed-use development facility in Aroma Axis has been severely hampered. The facility struggles with issues related to accessibility, traffic congestion, inadequate parking spaces, and a lack of necessary supporting infrastructure. These challenges hinder the facility’s ability to attract businesses, residents, and visitors, limiting its overall success and potential positive impact on the local economy.

To address these issues, it is imperative for urban planners, policymakers, and local authorities to prioritize comprehensive urban development plans, incorporating proper zoning regulations and infrastructure investment. Strengthening urban governance and promoting sustainable development practices will be vital to transform Aroma Axis into a well-integrated, vibrant, and livable community.

This study serves as a valuable reference for urban planners, policymakers, and researchers interested in understanding the consequences of neglecting urban development attention and poor zoning of settlements. By highlighting the challenges faced in integrating a mixed-use development facility in Aroma Axis, it emphasizes the importance of proactive and strategic urban planning to create sustainable and inclusive communities.
