The wet season extends of rivers, streams and erosion channels has developed. mostly between March and October while the dry According to Smyth and Montgomery (1962), Osun season lasts between November and February. The state overlies the metamorphic rocks of the basement mean temperature for the area is about 270C while the complex, the great majority of which are ancient, being mean annual rainfall is about 1300mm. of pre-Cambrian age. The rocks are strongly foliated and they occur as outcrops. The rainfall is heavy, ranging from 1200 to 1500 mm and falls for about eight months with the peak period The soils belong to the highly ferruginous tropical red in September. Temperature is high throughout the year soils associated with basement complex rocks. As a and this aids photosynthesis, which in effect favours the result of the dense humid forest cover in the area, the growth of dense forest. The temperatures range from soils are generally deep and of two types, namely, deep 27°C to 32°C with the maximum temperature recorded clayey soils formed on low smooth hill crests and upper around April.

These include haphazard and uncoordinated physical development, overcrowding and congestion within inner city neighborhoods, inadequate provision of infrastructure and services, as well as deteriorating social and environmental conditions, which make the cities generally unsustainable and unable to support the state’s development objectives anchored on its Six-Point Integral Action Plan.

The Osun Structure Plans Project was therefore initiated to address the challenges of unsustainable urbanization using the Rapid Urban Sector Profiling for Sustainability (RUSPS) methodology and also guide the development of the nine largest cities over the next 20 years, as a follow-up to the ongoing ‘O-Renewal’ regeneration programme for core areas in these cities.

The Structure Plan for Ikirun and Environs seeks to build capacity and aid strategic decision- making with main focus on setting the broad structure for the direction of future growth of the city, taking account of topographical, environmental and socio-economic constraints and considerations; providing for the co-ordination of present and future commercial activities and public services as well as proposing a staged urban development strategy within growth corridors to maximize efficiency in the provision of key infrastructure and services.
