PlanningExaptation and designing for a dynamic and adaptable built environmentBuilt environment remain a perennial challenge in this era of global crises. As globalisation continues to shape the world, urban developmentUrbandevelopment and redevelopment initiatives in developing countries often prioritise attracting investments and transforming urban areasUrbanareas into megacities. However, amidst this wave of urban transformation, there is a concerning trend of excluding and displacing informal actors who rely on urban spacesUrbanspace for their daily livelihoods. This displacement is particularly common in and around road-related public spaces like transport stations. The development of the transport infrastructureTransport infrastructure typically falls within the purview of transport engineering, emphasising technical parameters and standardisation. Informal behaviours are often stigmatised as a misuse of urban facilities and a threat to the modernist vision of aesthetically pleasing urban landscapeUrbanlandscape. Nevertheless, some motor parksMotor parks (bus stations) in Nigeria defy this prevailing trend, accommodating a diverse array of users and activities. Drawing upon a cultural ecological perspective, this chapter showcases how motor parks are used as public spacesPublic space for different activities other than the primary intent of facilitating efficient mobility in Yorubaland (Southwestern Nigeria). Within the Yoruba parks, a spectrum of activities emerges, spanning commercial, religious, social and leisure domains. The manner in which the Yoruba people repurpose and adapt these parks for various activities is a reflection of their inherent socio-spatial needs, deeply rooted in long-standing cultural practicesCultural practices handed down through generations. The findings in this chapter hold several key implications for urban planningUrbanplanning practices, particularly in the context of fostering community resilienceCommunity resilience through design approaches that embrace adaptability and variabilityVariability in the urban environment.
