Fifty years ago, Lagos, Nigeria was little more than a village. Today, it is one of the five most populous cities in the world, and it is still growing. Accelerated urbanization is creating a situation where megacities like Lagos arise before formal city plans can be laid. In this episode, we explore how city planners are coping with the unprecedented challenges of modern urban planning.
(2:48) Why any city takes time to become great.
(6:40) How elected officials interface with city planners to create a vision for the future.
(9:51) How to create coalitions to champion radical concepts.
(15:20) How do cities plan and prepare for disasters?
