Abstract

Dearth of public and private housing investments mounts pressures on facilities, amenities, neigbourhoods and available housing units in Enugu metropolis with various
implications on environmental quality. This study compared the effects of public and private housing investments on residential environmental quality in Enugu metropolis. The study area was stratified into low, medium and high density neighbourhoods. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Factor analysis was used to reduce the environmental quality variables to a singular factor. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to establish the nature of relationship between the environmental quality and public and private housing investments in the study area. Private housing investments impacted more on the environmental quality of the area than public housing investments. It was recommended that the State and Federal Governments should rise up to the challenge of public housing investments that will effectively complement the efforts of the private sector.
