Abstract
Municipal solid waste management in developing countries has thwarted the efforts of municipal governments of most developing countries and has continued to deteriorate both the quality of the environment, health and well-being of urban dwellers in these countries. Most researches pointed out the problems to be enormous ranging from inadequate involvement and conceptualization of the role of various stakeholders, fiscal irresponsibility, equipment failure and lack of reliable data to formulate policies. One important aspect which has suffered neglect from the perspective of various researches and has exerted much influence on solid waste management in developing countries is the architecture and planning of regions and locations (built environment). This paper analyze the impacts of architecture and planning parameters exerted on solid waste management in Bauchi metropolis.
