  • Description: VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE BEING UNDERTAKEN IN THE LAGOS METROPOLITAN AREA OF NIGERIA. "IN ADDITION, ASSISTED REDEVELOPMENT SCHEMES SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN. WITHIN SUCH A DISTRICT, THE PROVISION OF BASIC HYGIENIC FACILITIES SUCH AS MODERN DRAINAGE, WATER, SEWAGE CONNECTION MAY BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY..." "PROBLEMS SUCH AS HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION, POOR SANITATION, & SUBSTANDARD HOUSING STRUCTURES WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE CITY IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE NEED FOR A UNIFIED APPROACH TO THESE PROBLEMS IS IMPERATIVE & IT IS ADVISABLE THAT AUTONOMOUS COMMISSIONS SHOULD BE SET UP WITH THE SPECIFIC AUTHORITY TO TACKLE EACH PROBLEM WITH REGARDS TO THE WHOLE METROPOLITAN AREA." 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE PRESENT: (1) SUBSTANDARD HOUSING MUST BE STOPPED, & (2) "THERE IS THE NEED TO PROVIDE A PLANNED & ORDERLY GROWTH FOR THE LAND EXPANSION THAT MUST INEVITABLY FOLLOW THE INCREASE IN POPULATION CONSEQUENT UPON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA." 4 TABLES, 2 FIGURES. L. DEFORGE.
