This study examines the spatial distribution of informal sector activities in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. The study established that the informal sector activities in the city were indiscriminately located along the major street corridors (Federal and State roads) as well as within the transition residential zone. This pattern of distribution has such effects as; on-street parking of vehicles, traffic hold-up and unsanitary environmental condition among others. The study concluded that it is imperative to check and prevent further indiscriminate location of informal sector activities so as to ensure sustainable development.
