This thesis titled A Management Model for Human Settlements addresses the global challenge of persistent depreciating human settlements, particularly prevalent in developing countries, leading to an increasing housing gap despite various policies and programmes. Focusing on Nigeria and South Africa, the research employs a pragmatic and positivist deductive approach to explore the management of human settlements. Through literature review, archival records, and empirical studies involving professionals and stakeholders, the study identifies critical factors affecting human settlements management, including maintenance practises, policy monitoring, and personnel training. The research underscores the importance of factors such as income, time, expertise, and technology in achieving sustainable management, and proposes a comprehensive management model for human settlements. Recommendations include professionalising the field, developing management policies, and applying the proposed model to enhance sustainability and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 11. The study aims to influence policy development, programme design, and education curricula in housing and human settlement management globally, fostering ongoing improvement and research in the field.
