Abstract
Urban food waste management is a critical issue in Lagos, Nigeria, where over 20 million people live within its urban boundaries. This article employs a theoretical approach, drawing from existing literature on urban planning, environmental science, and public health interventions. The theoretical framework underscores the importance of integrated urban planning that balances economic development with environmental sustainability and public welfare. Implementing targeted recycling programmes alongside education campaigns can enhance waste management efficiency and promote healthier living conditions in Lagos.
