Miss Oluwakolafiwe Ayodele

Oluwakolafiwe Ayodele is a scholar in real estate and construction management whose work centers on sustainable construction, property development finance, and built environment education in emerging economies. With research spanning Nigeria and South Africa, contributions integrate behavioural and institutional theories to explain adoption of green construction and sustainability practices across the industry.

A significant strand of research examines pre-letting and pre-sale financing, highlighting risk sharing, trust, firm reputation, and government involvement as key drivers in property development. Studies on coworking investment, data sharing, and vertical greenery systems further demonstrate expertise in real estate innovation, market dynamics, and stakeholder awareness within evolving urban contexts.

Another core focus is sustainability literacy and gender inclusion in the built environment. Investigations into students’ perceptions of sustainable construction and female participation in real estate practice provide policy-relevant insights for education reform and professional equity. Collectively, this body of work advances practical strategies for sustainable transformation in the global south.
