Looks at sustainable development of African cities in this third report in a series. Focuses on the harnessing of Lagos’ potential after the election of a new governor in 2007, Babatunde Raji Fashola, and what he has achieved in a short period. Concludes with a discussion on urban land reforms, a challenge to African municipal leaders looking to leverage fast urbanisation rates for growth, leading planners to explore new rules on property.
