From 1950 to 1960, 60% of the growth of megacities was in the developing world. Between 2000 and 2010, the developing world accounted for 90%. Out of the 28 biggest cities on Earth, only six are in the developed world. To compile our list of the fastest-growing megacities, we used population data from the 2013 edition of Demographia World Urban Areas, the only regularly published survey of urban area populations. The population estimates are for areas of continuous urbanization, which includes central cities and their satellite communities, but excludes adjacent rural territory.

Nice, Gidi is undoubtedly unstoppable, I can't wait enough for the "CLEANER LAGOS INITIATIVE" to kick off in earnest by September. On another hand the pen cinema flyover project,has it been stalled? ? ? Are there new partners for the much touted 4MB,since the last deal collapsed? ? ? The blue line completion any feasibility? There were insinuations that there is a loggerhead between the federal government and state government, as to who is in charge of the water ways, this has led to the slow pace of work of the blue line, especially at the marina water front, as the contractors were piling poles as prebasement structure for the rail bridges and the controversy ensured, have the case been nipped in the board? ? ? The recent flooding shows disconnect and negligence amongst the government and the governed. Proactive and preemptive measures will do the magic. The 49billion naira lagos medical Park, is it still on course? ? ? I hope the government pays close attention to these critical issues tentatively, Lastly I am a strong advocate for open budget, Lagos should lead the trail. |

Khodorkovsky: you guys are so insecured that you dont even know when someone is genuinely concerned and when it is a tribal bash.... you are comparing Lagos, your supposedly sophisticated and advanced city to random places in the east,is that not shameful? To you the projections and predictions on paper are much more important than the threat of flood, outbreak of disease and its dirty environment.....Typical Afonja 4 Likes |
