The Niger Delta region of Nigeria, while rich in natural resources, faces significant environmental challenges that hinder housing development and impact residents' well-being. This study identifies and analyzes key ecological threats, including oil spills, gas flaring, flooding, erosion, and inadequate waste management. These issues compromise housing quality and safety and lead to socio-economic consequences such as health risks, financial strain, and population displacement. The research proposes enhanced policy implementation, sustainable construction practices, improved waste management, community resilience programs, and climate adaptation strategies as practical solutions to mitigate these threats. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study highlights the urgent need for sustainable housing development in the Niger Delta. It explores land use planning, sustainable building practices, and community engagement as viable approaches to addressing environmental threats. The findings aim to inform policymakers, stakeholders, and local communities on actionable steps to foster resilience and sustainability in housing. By addressing these challenges holistically, this study contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development and environmental resilience, emphasizing the need for long-term strategies to ensure safe and sustainable housing in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
