The dualistic theory is utilized as the framework for our analysis of the emerging spatial pattern of development in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory. The analysis is carried out using the principal axis method of factoring out data set. Furthermore, the scores of the extracted orthogonal factors are mapped and interpreted in spatial terms. The space economy of our study is observed to conform with the dualistic theory in two major ways. It is suggested that the development of an asymmetrical relationship between the two structural components of the observed spatial dualism must be prevented by adopting appropriate regional development policies.
