Urban Governance in the Global South
•
1 like•239 views
This document analyzes urban governance challenges in Lagos, Nigeria through a case study. It identifies several issues facing Lagos due to rapid population growth and rural-urban migration, such as overcrowded shanty towns, traffic, poor zoning laws, and pollution. To address these problems, Lagos has reclaimed land from a former beach to build a new financial district called Eko Atlantic. However, the document argues that Eko Atlantic alone is not enough and long-term solutions require decentralized development, modern city planning, proper zoning laws, environmental regulations, and participatory governance across Nigeria.

Sustainable development in lagos by Popoola A.A
The document discusses sustainable development in Lagos, Nigeria. It outlines facts about Lagos, how residents currently live, and areas for improvement. Lagos is the most populous city in Nigeria with over 21 million residents, but it has limited resources. Issues include overpopulation, inadequate drainage, air and water pollution, improper waste disposal, hazardous electrical wiring, and traffic congestion. Areas for improving sustainability include creating tax havens to encourage population dispersion, mandatory drainage cleaning, promoting eco-friendly transportation to reduce pollution, increasing waste disposal services, improving electrical infrastructure, and developing public transportation.

Megacities in developing countries face issues of sustainability due to rapid population growth and poverty, including lack of adequate housing and infrastructure, poor health conditions, and environmental degradation. Efforts are being made to address slum housing through improved security of land ownership and basic services, health and sanitation through expanded water access, and transportation and pollution through initiatives like car-free days and expanded public transit systems. However, the scale of needs in megacities poses challenges to achieving sustainable development.

Urban planning processes in lagos executive summary
The publication is the result of a year long research process led by Fabulous Urban, Zurich, with local experts and final year students’ examining the relation between urban policies, urban interventions, the role of governance and the different actors in Lagos. The publication looks at four case studies with detailed overviews, graphics and analysis demonstrating that strategic adjustments in the overall politics and policies guiding the urban development of Lagos are needed to reach out to all Lagos residents who is at the center of the urban and economic development
Factoring population dynamics into sustainable regional development
This document discusses the relationship between population growth and environmental sustainability in Lagos, Nigeria. It makes three key points:
1) Lagos' population has grown rapidly from 762,000 in 1960 to over 20 million currently, straining the city's infrastructure and environment. Unchecked population growth has led to issues like pollution, loss of biodiversity, and environmental degradation.
2) Successive Lagos state governments have failed to address population dynamics in their development plans. Curtailing population growth through policies like fertility control is needed to achieve environmental sustainability goals.
3) Recommendations include adopting a national population policy, controlling "parasitic" migration, community education on fertility, and strengthening waste management through
Land use planning: Panacea a Sustainable Lagos Megacity
There is a trajectory between land use planning and sustainable development. Both concepts tend to deliberately use available societal resources in a rational way in order to meet future desired needs and aspirations. However, the lack of land use planning of megacities in developing countries has brought about various environmental and economic consequences which cannot be overlooked. The sprawling nature of the Lagos megacity is very alarming and to achieve sustainability, there is need to strike a balance between the spatial needs for human activities and available land through sustainable land use planning which is constant. This paper examines the theoretical underpinnings of land use planning, which seems to be dislocated from existing planning practice and emphasize the need for a holistic approach which transcends the traditional land use planning in order to achieve sustainable development.
Integrated Solid Waste Management as Panacea for a sustainable Clean City in ...
As a result of continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization there has been
increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste particularly in developing countries. Many Nigeria
cities and towns are facing problems of effective collection of garbage from homes and streets the situation that
make Nigerians to be permanently accustomed to dirt environment. Based on this background, the paper
examines the waste conditions and disposal as well as the influence on the environment in term of cleanliness at
Ado Ekiti in Nigeria using both primary and secondary sources of data collection which were subjected to
descriptive statistical analysis. The evidence of the result can be clearly seen every day by way of indiscriminate
discharge of garbage into drains and at times on the highways due to ineffective ways of waste management in
the town. The paper therefore recommends integrate waste management system as an option towards a clean
city.

1) The document proposes an alternative infrastructure plan for Luanda, Angola in response to the government's One Million Housing Plan.
2) It argues that infrastructure like water, sanitation and transportation should be prioritized over housing, as surveys found housing was not a top problem identified by urban poor residents.
3) The plan focuses on developing infrastructure around an existing railway line, including bridging divides in the community of Viana through civic spaces and improved accessibility.

Cities face challenges from rapid urbanization including demands for resources that outpace supply. Sustainable cities aim to improve infrastructure to be more environmentally friendly and improve quality of life while cutting costs. Key aspects of sustainable cities include good governance at the metropolitan level to address local issues, as well as green technologies, public transport, energy and water management. While national policies can provide strategic direction, local leadership is also crucial for sustainable urban development.

This document discusses urbanization, housing, and infrastructure in Lagos, Nigeria. It notes that Lagos has experienced rapid urbanization and population growth that has outstripped investments in housing and basic infrastructure. As a result, many residents live in slums that lack access to clean water, sanitation, transportation, and other services. The government has acknowledged these issues and has begun projects to improve infrastructure through investments in roads, electricity, and other facilities. However, meeting future challenges of urbanization will require more efforts to boost housing supply and ensure all residents have access to basic infrastructure and services.

This document outlines a study investigating the contributions of irregular urban development and municipal solid waste to flooding in metropolitan Lagos, Nigeria. It begins with an introduction describing flood as both a natural and manmade phenomenon. It then presents the aim and objectives, hypotheses, study area, theoretical framework, literature review, methodology, findings, and recommendations. The methodology section describes using a cross-sectional research design with primary data collection through questionnaires, observation, and focus groups as well as secondary data. Analysis will utilize descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, remote sensing, GIS techniques, and maps. Preliminary findings suggest occupation of floodplains is related to socioeconomic factors and distance from canals/lagoons predicts flooding frequency. Waste

Liveable & Sustainable Cities For The Future
The opening plenary session at the World Cities Summit 2010 focused on leadership and governance for sustainable cities. Speakers highlighted the need for sustainability given projected population growth. Cities were identified as hotspots for resource consumption but also having potential to address problems through governance, technology and stakeholder engagement. Successful examples of sustainability leadership and governance were presented from Bilbao, China's Yellow River project, and Curitiba. Both government and non-government perspectives emphasized participatory governance, private sector involvement, and balancing development with environmental protection to achieve sustainable cities.

The document discusses the city of Lagos, Nigeria. It notes that while Lagos has a rich culture and encourages business, it also faces serious problems related to overpopulation, poor infrastructure, and environmental issues like pollution, flooding and corruption. Some key problems mentioned are traffic congestion from overpopulation and poor infrastructure, water pollution harming health, air pollution, and flooding from blocked drainages and global warming. It concludes that efforts to address these challenges are not enough and that improvements are needed in education, law enforcement, government participation, entrepreneurial participation, voting wisely, and driving real change.

Strategies to Regulate Rongo Urban Growth
Urbanisation started in the early days along the river valleys where civilisation was first experienced. The rate of urbanisation at this time was slow; however, the rate of urbanisation in developing countries is so fast at the moment where it generates many problems like pollution, inadequate housing and clean water, flooding, high rate of waste disposal and insecurity. Many towns do not have plans and policies to govern the establishment of the infrastructures. Planning ensures proper establishment of infrastructures and thus adequate provision of social amenities. One of the major problems in Rongo Town is inadequate housing which is caused by high rate of population growth. Similarly, the provision of other social amenities like education, health and electricity has been stressed as the local authorities and central governments lack the capacity to cope up with the population increase. There is great need to expand the capacity of these facilities in Rongo Town. The need to put in place policies that govern waste management and environmental conservation cannot be downplayed. The government and the local authorities should establish town boundaries to check the movement of towns into the neighbourhood and hence protect the resources in the neighbourhood for economic growth. In a nutshell, everybody including government, local authorities, engineers, planners, town and local residents should be involved in planning and policy formulation so as to improve the living standards of the residents of Rongo Town.

The document summarizes transportation challenges in Lagos, Nigeria. It notes that Lagos is Africa's largest city with over 20 million inhabitants, and its economy contributes significantly to Nigeria's GDP. However, the city faces severe transportation problems due to traffic congestion, inadequate public transit, and high transportation costs that impact social and economic activity. Currently, over 70% of transportation is by informal and unregulated buses, while water transport accounts for just 2% of transportation despite Lagos having extensive waterways. The document proposes developing ferry transportation to complement other modes to help address the city's mobility issues.
Urban Water Planning
Jane Jacobs was a pioneering thinker in urban planning who advocated an approach focused on the needs of local residents and communities. Some key aspects of her approach include:
- Emphasizing diversity of uses. Jacobs argued mixed-use neighborhoods with a variety of housing, businesses, parks and public spaces were more vibrant and better served local needs. Monofunctional zones separated different activities.
- Supporting walkability. Dense, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods encouraged casual public oversight that contributed to safety. An over-reliance on automobiles undermined community life.
- Bottom-up planning. Jacobs argued successful neighborhoods evolved organically to meet community needs, not through rigid top-down master plans. Planners should support and enhance what

Urban Governance in the Global South
- 1. Urban Governance in the Global South: Lagos City as a Case Study UQ SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHY, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN7614: Urban Management & Governance in Developing Countries By: Ezimah Chidinma ID: 44245092 c.ezimah@uqconnect.ed.au
- 2. source: Pulse.ng Like most emerging economies, urban-‐centred development has heightened rural-‐urban migration to Lagos, as it has decent infrastructures relative to other states in Nigeria. It is home to about 17million people and is expected to keep increasing. This rapid population growth breeds urban challenges. A few will be mentioned. 2
- 3. Source:Trip.me Unconventional buildings in Lagos shanties, indication of overcrowding, weak institutional and regulatory frameworks. Shanties are notorious for violence, flooding amongst many others. Urban challenge: Shanty Towns 3
- 4. Source: Lagosians Hub A regular rush hour for residents at the Lagos mainland. Indication of over crowdedness, poor infrastructures and so on. This affect efficiency of workers, as they get to work late and stressed. Urban challenge: Traffic
- 5. Source: World map A section of the financial hub of the city. Indication of poor zoning laws, and poor urban planning. Urban Challenge: Poor Zoning Law
- 6. Source: Pulse.ng An environmentally polluted Lagos shanty, just like many other shanties. Residents are exposed to disease epidemics in such environments. What is Lagos government doing about these challenges you must wonder? Urban Challenge: Pollution
- 7. Lagos State Former Bar Beach Lagos occupies the smallest land mass in Nigeria but has the largest population. 10million square meters of land has been reclaimed from the former bar beach located in the City to create Eko Atlantic city. Source: The News
- 8. Eko atlantic today Land has been reclaimed from bar beach, by construction of an ongoing 8.5 kilometres sea wall. It will be the new financial hub and home to many, tourist attraction location and most importantly will solve some of the urban challenges in Lagos Source: Eko atlantic
- 9. The future of Eko Atlantic Eko atlantic has a lot of potentials as it has the support of many international investors. All things equal, with proper management, it brings Lagos closer to solving its urban issues. Is this strategy enough? Source: Eko Atlantic
- 10. No, Eko Atlantic is not enough to address the enormous challenges facing Lagos. A more permanent solution will involve decentralized development programs that engender the needs of rural areas to curb the ongoing wave of rural-urban migration. Modern city plan programs like Eko Atlantic and proper zoning laws, environmental protection regulations and participatory city governance will be crucial in addressing urban development across Nigeria, not just Lagos.
