Future of Public Spaces II: Olamide Udoma 2

IS THERE ANY SPACE AROUND HERE THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER PUBLIC (WHERE YOU CAN RELAX OR SOCIALISE)?

• 80% said NO

• ‘’No, you pay for everything in Lagos’’

• National stadium Surulere (30 minute walk from Tejuosho)

• Malls and eateries (Burger King)

• Hotels and bars

• ‘'Yes, but not ideal for women’’

DANFONE Part of a multi-layered transport system (4 or 5 layers?)

Part of traffic, which is deeply embedded in the city culture

Lots and lots of people in a similar situation at any given single time

Interaction between strangers

JIGI LAGOS Tamper with the flow of the city energy

Get people out of their everyday mundane activities, a release, with sight and sound

Adaptable dependent on time of day - the morning rushing and the evening laid-back

A controlled but not controlling narrative

Promote interaction between people

PUBLIC SPACE • Re-uses the city infrastructure to create

connections – person to person, person to city • Accessible; people have easy access and can

engaged in activit ies • Comfortable; people feel safe • Sociable place: one where people meet each other

and take people when they come to visit. • Economic, social, and ethnic diversity
