Abstract
Resource-rich nations often face environmental challenges exacerbated by unequal access to resources among different social groups. A qualitative analysis of existing literature and case studies focusing on urban planners' responses to environmental concerns in Gambian cities. While progress has been made, sustained engagement with marginalized communities remains a critical challenge for achieving true environmental justice in Gambia’s urban planning. Urban planners should prioritise community-based participatory methods in their projects to ensure equitable resource allocation and enhance project success rates.
