The world has become a global village. Culture, attitude, and the entire social structure of a nation have all been influenced one way or the other by this phenomenon. These changes are manifest in many ways especially as regards what we do and how we do what we do. This paper examines and discusses the impact of globalization on housing in Nigeria by focusing on aspects of planning, design, and construction. It intends to propose how a developing country as Nigeria, in striving to be an active participant in the general global trend in the housing sector, should evolve policies that would harmonize culture/ attitudes with the advantages of globalization.
