Urban gentrification, characterized by the influx of higher-income residents into lower-income areas and subsequent displacement of existing residents, has significantly impacted Abuja's neighbourhoods. Driven by substantial investments in infrastructure and real estate development, these changes have enhanced economic vitality but raised critical concerns about social equity and inclusiveness. Abuja's urban setting is marked by stark contrasts between formal and informal settlements, contributing to significant socioeconomic disparities. Informal settlements, rapidly growing on government-owned or abandoned land, face challenges such as lack of basic infrastructure and social exclusion. This study examines the politics of urban redevelopment in Abuja, focusing on power dynamics and stakeholder influence in gentrifying neighborhoods. Employing a qualitative research design, the study draws on secondary sources and the researcher’s regional experience. The analysis highlights the diverse stakeholder interests, funding constraints, communication barriers, and regulatory issues that complicate urban redevelopment. Effective stakeholder management, including transparent communication, inclusive participation, efficient resource allocation, and streamlined regulatory processes, is essential for sustainable urban development. Recommendations include establishing a Multi-Stakeholder Urban Redevelopment Council, implementing a transparent funding and monitoring mechanism, and enhancing public participation through digital platforms. These measures aim to ensure that Abuja’s urban redevelopment projects are transparent, inclusive, and accountable, ultimately fostering a vibrant and equitable urban environment.
