Four communities; Gege and Opopo Yeosa (noted for poor environmental sanitation), in Ibadan South-East and North-West local government areas, respectively; a well as Oluyole and Bodija estates (noted for good environmental sanitation), in Ibadan South-West and Ibadan North, respectively were purposively sampled. The instruments used was Urban Renewal Practice Scale(r = 0.81). Two research questions were answered. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The results showed that pre-intervention practice of the residents was low (20.0%), but it increased to 70.0% post-intervention. Based on the findings, it is recommended that inauguration and empowerment of urban management taskforce should be embarked upon by the government for effective and adequate urban renewal activities programmes.
