How can Lagos become more climate resilient?
Not too long ago we spoke with Benin’s former Minister for Environment and Urban Planning, Luc Gnacadja, about the challenges and strategies for planning African cities. He told us that he considers Africa’s biggest city, Lagos, to be the least climate resilient city on the continent.
Africa has suffered disproportionately from climate change, and this is set to continue- scientists predict that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades. But will urban populations cope?
In today's episode, we explore one man's plan to address this.
James George, a Nigerian architect, and founder of HTL of Africa. He spoke to Alan Kasujja about his vision for the design and building of more climate-resilient cities, starting with Lagos.
