Conversation on urban inequality, sustainability and a true vision for the Lagos Megacity!

The workshop “Co-creating an inclusive Lagos” is organised by the Heinrich Böll Foundation Nigeria as part of its “Climate resilient and inclusive Megacity Lagos” program (ng.boell.org) in cooperation with Prof. Taibat Lawanson from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Dr. Ademola Omoegun from the Department of Architecture, University of Lagos.
Lagos is a city of dreams for many. Nigerians returning from the Diaspora dream of a prospering city; the Lagosian middle class dreams of economic opportunities and a befitting lifestyle; the poor dream of security of tenure, regular income and a sense of place in the city. Whilst the poor make about 70% of the city’s population, the development patterns in the city increasingly shatter their dreams for the benefit of the remaining 30%. Meanwhile, a modern city is a centre of opportunities for all – rich and poor – to reach their highest potentials, that is governed in an inclusive, collaborative and sustainable manner. How does Lagos fare in this regard?
The workshop targets movers and shakers among Lagos citizens who are interested in socio-economic issues and usually do not have the opportunity to exchange their ideas directly with representatives of the informal sector. Local and international resource persons will demonstrate creative and innovative strategies of inclusive development initiated and implemented by the poor. There will also be a study tour to some sites in the city to understand how affected people cope with the Co-Creating effects of government interventions for replacing informality with formal structures. Finally, working groups will deliberate on strategies for facilitating a fair and inclusive urban development for Lagos and other cities in Nigeria.
