Introduction
Environmental sustainability has become an important research priority amid urban expansion, increasing material consumption, and the need for responsible resource utilisation. Addressing these challenges requires research that considers environmental systems alongside economic activities and institutional development. Wahab’s identified research themes contribute to this broader academic discussion by examining circular resource management, urban environmental conditions, and innovation-driven sustainability. His publication topics also establish connections between environmental research and practical approaches to improving the sustainability of cities and organisations.
Research Profile
Wahab’s research profile is characterised by interdisciplinary interests spanning environmental and sustainable materials, urban sustainability, geographical assessment, and green entrepreneurship. His publication themes indicate engagement with quantitative and applied research approaches, including multicampus geographical information systems (GIS), survey-based assessment, and the examination of relationships between innovation and business performance. These subjects reflect the importance of integrating environmental evidence with planning, management, and organisational decision-making. [2] [3]
Research Contributions
His documented research interests encompass several interconnected areas:
- Circular construction practices: Investigating construction waste management in relation to perceived urban environmental sustainability across Ghanaian cities.
- Green infrastructure: Exploring university green spaces through multicampus GIS and survey-based assessment in southwestern Nigeria.
- Sustainable entrepreneurship: Examining green entrepreneurial orientation, innovation capability, and sustainable business performance.
Together, these research themes address environmental responsibility at urban, institutional, and organisational levels. [1] [2] [3]
