Abstract :
Issues in urban housing and infrastructure
provision and management have been a central point of
discussion both in academic and policy formulation
across the globe time immemorial. Beyond the
dominance of housing market (supply and demand) that
determine, to a great extent, households’ residential
location choice, there also exist the supremacy of some
socio-physical processes that regulate households’
residential movement within urban space. This paper
elucidates on concept of residential mobility. The two
significant theories that are central to the study are
explained; as well as the factors necessitating residential
mobility. Imperatively, we thereby relate intra-urban
residential mobility to urban locational decision making
for a sustainable urban management.
