Rapid urbanisation, characterised by population increase and spatial development, is pushing the frontiers of major African cities from old urban cores outward into peri-urban areas. A key outcome transitioning land uses variations to customary rights. Yet, understandings everyday transformational processes driving forces in peri-urbanisation remain underexplored. This article, using a case study area Kumasi, Ghana’s second largest city, contributes body literature on by: (i) analysing spatio-temporal evolution area; (ii) examining underpinning patterns change. Qualitative research methods involving interviews with traditional local statutory authorities, developers, as well map analysis, Landsat images, photographs were used. Findings show rapid but unregulated changes driven increasing demand for land, speculation, commodification, infrastructure projects. Peri-urbanisation shaped multiple factors such modernisation, restructuring, individual home ownership aspirations. The process change assumed linear drastic permanent transition, producing less credence intermediate temporary uses.
