摘要：This paper examines the impact of developer infrastructure charges on housing affordability in Zoo Estate Enugu. Data were collected through the administration of a questionnaire. A total of 92 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents, out of which 88 were retrieved and used for the analysis. Relative Importance Index (RII) was used to analyze the respondents’ scores of the basic impact factors. From the result, high rents, increase in housing prices, lack of adequate and affordable housing and developer infrastructure charges increases accessibility etc., were ranked first, second, third and fourth respectively. The results of the analysis indicate that developer infrastructure charges cause high rents and increase in housing prices which significantly affect housing affordability. The study recommended that funding and maintenance of infrastructure by the State Government should be made from revenues collected as property rates or ground rent and not necessarily creating another nomenclature called Infrastructure Development Fund (IDF) or Infrastructure Development Charge (IDC).
