Geo-modeling of an emerging global city, a case for Lagos


It is pleasing to read of Lagos state government's five pillars of development agenda for Lagos State tagged THEME which include Transportation, Health and Environment, Education and Technology, Entertainment and Tourism as a strategy with the goal of making Lagos a 21st century global economy.  

Lagos is an emerging global city and with more people and talent arriving in the city, a discerning city manager deploys smart technologies that prepares and sets the city apart to live, work and invest. The reason is not far to fetch. Talent is highly mobile and it seeks out environments that are safe, smart and liveable (https://esrisingapore.com.sg/blog/what-worlds-smartest-cities-all-have-common).

One of the technologies that city planners adopt as a prelude to the implementation of a beauty premium and liveable city is 3D modelling, which is a three dimensional base map upon which new layers of information can be loaded through applications. 

Lagos makes an interesting and curious subject of inquiry given that apart from farmlands taken up by urbanization, the coastal belts have equally been encroached upon by reclamation whereby the ocean front has been dredged and sand-filled for housing and commercial development.

Nigeria, the toast of Nations.

Smooth transition from one civilian president to another, first in the history of the country, a population of about 150 million people, an educated (and sophisticated) middle class and abundant natural resources with oil and gas on top of the chart, Nigeria is gradually emerging as the preferred business destination in sub Saharan Africa, and would overtake South Africa shortly. The Chinese National Oil Company, Petrobras, Korean and Singapore Oil companies have in recent times joined the likes of Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, Totalelfina, Amoco, and Halliburton etc in upstream and downstream oil and gas activities. The Russians are asking themselves why it took them this long to enter the booming Nigerian oil industry. Well, with the Asian Tigers here, the Russians may have to work a bit harder. MTN, a South African mobile phones company, Celtel, UAE owned, Glo, an indigenous company amongst others are slugging it out in the competitive world of mobile telephony. Visafone, the
