✦AI Summary
Dr. Ebenezer Ankomah Gyamera warns that building residential housing on land requiring extensive filling is dangerous and indicative of poor planning. He argues that Ghana's recurring flood crises are exacerbated by weak enforcement of land-use regulations and development in ecologically sensitive areas.
Lands that require extensive filling with laterite before construction are fundamentally unsuitable for residential accommodation and must be treated as warning signs of poor land selection, according to Dr. Engr. Surveyor Ebenezer Ankomah Gyamera, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
