FORESHORE ISLAND, LAGOS LAGOON Lagos, Nigeria
This Energy and Resource Efficient Mini Eco-City covers 59.61 hectares. 270 houses, some 1800 apartments, all supporting facilities and a marina are laid out in accordance with a site specific Urban and Environmental Code, with Central Park as its backbone. An already reclaimed patch of land on the Lagoon is expanded in the direction of the prevailing winds, in the process creating elongated shorelines. It puts to use the most significant natural asset of Lagos – the Lagoon.
