Future of Public Spaces II: Olamide Udoma 2

2. IS THERE ANY SPACE AROUND HERE THAT YOU WOULD
CONSIDER PUBLIC (WHERE YOU CAN RELAX OR
SOCIALISE)?
• 80% said NO
• ‘’No, you pay for everything in Lagos’’
• National stadium Surulere (30 minute walk from Tejuosho)
• Malls and eateries (Burger King)
• Hotels and bars
• ‘'Yes, but not ideal for women’’

3. DANFONE
Part of a multi-layered transport system (4 or 5 layers?)
Part of traffic, which is deeply embedded in the city culture
Lots and lots of people in a similar situation at any given single time
Interaction between strangers

5. JIGI LAGOS
Tamper with the flow of the city energy
Get people out of their everyday mundane activities, a release, with sight and sound
Adaptable dependent on time of day - the morning rushing and the evening laid-back
A controlled but not controlling narrative
Promote interaction between people

7. PUBLIC SPACE
• Re-uses the city infrastructure to create
connections – person to person, person to city
• Accessible; people have easy access and can
engaged in activities
• Comfortable; people feel safe
• Sociable place: one where people meet each other
and take people when they come to visit.
• Economic, social, and ethnic diversity
