We All Know Lagos Needs A Metro And Here Is What It Could Look Like by NewYork2Lagos: 4:38pm On Jul 22, 2017 |
Credit to the original author of the post and the map here: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2017/07/19/the-lagos-metro/ Lagos is the second-largest city in the world without rail rapid transit (the largest is Karachi). Sources disagree on its population, but it looks like 21 million in the built-up area, consisting of most of Lagos State plus a few suburbs just outside it, such as Ota and Ijoko – in total, 1,000 km^2, someone more including the suburbs. All of the problems that rapid transit intends to fix – traffic jams, pollution, long commutes, overcrowding, unpopular jitneys – are present. I don’t want to repeat the case I made in this post in favor of aggressive investment in subway systems in Lagos and other big third-world cities. Instead, I want to talk about concrete features. 2 Likes |
