Urban development in Abuja, Nigeria, is growing without appropriate urban design principles and goals, resulting in urbanization, urban poor settlements both in the formal and informal areas of the city. The major threat to Abuja's proper development is more complex, more closely connected with the disarray and unprofessional practices in the implementation of the Master Plan. The process of urbanization in Abuja has been seen to rather produce what the present work could term "spatial dialectics" especially, in the spatial distribution of objects. This work aimed at heightening inadequacy of housing within the Abuja Federal Capital Territory that resulted in slums. The authors adopted qualitative research method that embraced information from secondary data sources. Abuja’s urban development is an environmental embarrassment as a result, this work recommends linking the urban poor settlements with the Central City infrastructure and the urban economy. Adopting urban design principles, encourage high rise buildings.
