Notes
  • Lagos, Nigeria, capital and principal urban agglomeration of the most populous of African countries, offers a case study whereby this question may be answered. The framework for analysis is the Central Lagos Slum Clearance Project, a scheme that directly attacked the unsanitary and overcrowded conditions prevalent over much of Lagos Island. The purpose is not to criticize the scheme, for this has been done elsewhere in considerably more detail. 2 Instead, the redevelopment project is evaluated within the broader setting of African urbanization, particularly those aspects of rural immigration and natural population increase.
