Article Harnessing Adaptive Urban Service Frameworks and Smart Technologies for Sustainable Urban Development in Rapidly Urbanising Cities(Elsevier, 2026) Agboola, Oluwagbemiga Paul; Uzun, Turkan Irgin; Cakir, Hulya Soydas; Soydaş Çakır, HülyaRapid urbanisation and escalating climate change impacts pose significant challenges for sustainable urban governance in developing nations, particularly where infrastructural inadequacies and resource inefficiencies persist. This study examines how urban systems in rapidly growing cities in Nigeria can utilise smart technologies to enhance resilience, inclusivity, and environmental sustainability. The study's aim is to develop and evaluate an Adaptive Urban Service Framework (AUSF) that integrates digital innovations to foster low-carbon, climate-resilient, and inclusive cities. Objectives of the study include (i) identifying adaptive urban service models that improve resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and quality of life, and (ii) assessing the extent to which these services strengthen urban resilience and social inclusivity under demographic and infrastructural pressures. A structured survey involving 286 respondents from selected Nigerian cities was conducted, and the data were analysed using SPSS Version 22. The correlation results reveal a positive relationship between adaptive urban service mechanisms and sustainability outcomes (r = 0.987, p < 0.001), indicating that improvements in smart technologies, resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and quality of life strongly reinforce sustainable urban performance. Similarly, experts' evaluations demonstrate a positive correlation between Adaptive Urban Services (AUS) and the enhancement of resilience and inclusivity within smart urban environments (r = 0.865, p < 0.001). These findings collectively underscore that adaptive, smart-driven frameworks exert substantial synergistic effects on environmental sustainability, social inclusivity, and urban resilience, confirming that the effective integration of smart technologies serves as a strong determinant of sustainability outcomes in rapidly urbanising Nigerian cities. The paper offers a methodology that integrates digital innovation with climate-responsive planning, which theoretically advances urban systems theory. In practical terms, it provides policymakers and urban planners with a scalable road map for implementing adaptive service solutions that connect sustainability, equity, and technology. Overall, within similar emerging urban environments, the study highlights the transformative potential of adaptive urban services in furthering climate adaptation, fostering inclusion, and attaining sustainable urban development.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Critical Spatial Reasoning in Designing: A Visitor’s Centre Relating to Beylikdüzü Archaeological Site, Istanbul(Jomard Publishing, 2025) Agboola, Oluwagbemiga Paul; Uzun, Türkan İrgin; Çakır, Hülya SoydaşArchitectural Design Studio helps students develop the skills to abstract, conceptualise and analyse space. This paper addresses the process of developing critical thinking and design, focusing on the central project, relating to Beylikdüzü Archaeological Excavation Site in Istanbul, Turkiye. This project provides the opportunity for students to explore the context, restrictions of the site and metaphors in design while operating more as an incubator for collaboration than a formal studio course. More specifically, the project aims to improve links between the welcome centre and the archaeological site and hence fills a research gap by exploring the value of producing three-dimensional thinking able to deliver architectural solutions that are new to the context. The purpose of the study is to investigate students' abilities in site analysis, topography and environment for appropriate designs that are functional and sustainable. Methods such as SWOT analysis and topographical studies are incorporated within the framework to propose a unified design solution that is sensitive to both the archaeological site and cultural attachment. The results show integrated and innovative solutions that combined the welcome centre with the archaeological area, helping to enrich the visitor experience. Cultural preservation and taking into consideration the value of archaeological sites to integrate them with minimum damage in new architectural interventions is another aspect seen through this project. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
