This research examines the typological analysis of housing development in the peri-urban settlements of Lagos State, Nigeria. Case study methodology was adopted, using random sampling to select housing developments under different housing initiatives, in purposely selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State. Primary data collection was from survey questionnaires, direct observations and in-depth interviews administered to household heads in the case study area. Data analysis was done using descriptive statics to generate frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations of the variables. Findings showed different housing typologies under three categories: owner occupied, part rental and full rental housing. Housing typologies in the study area were influenced by different housing initiatives, and the socio-economic attributes of the residents revealed a heterogeneous mix of the population in terms of culture, literacy level and household size. Based on the research findings it is recommended that the residents' socio-demography should be put into consideration in building typology designs, to enhance effective user performance in peri-urban housing development under diverse housing development schemes in Lagos State. Keywords: Peri-Urban, Housing Typology, Architecture, Socio-Demography, Housing Initiatives

Government controls on urban land use are as pervasive as death and taxes. Certainly, I have never been in or seen reference to a country that placed no or even almost no, controls on how owners could develop and use urban land. The most comprehensive study of urban housing development policies, Angel and Mayo (1996), which covers 53 countries that include 80 percent of the world’s population, included none that approximated free markets in housing.
