RECLAIMING THE CITY: Lagos' empty public buildings and the manufactured scarcity
Lagos has an officially estimated housing deficit of three million homes, yet across the city, buildings built with public money stand empty. Join us for RECLAIMING THE CITY, a webinar confronting the paradox of manufactured scarcity in Lagos housing. Building on our 2025 "From Vacant to Vibrant" convening, we present a bold policy brief: repurpose abandoned public buildings for low-income housing, turn them into models of green design, and make land banking pay into a housing fund for the people. Hear the policy brief presentation, then join a live panel of leading housing experts and government officials shaping the future of our city. This is more than a conversation, it is a roadmap for reclaiming what already belongs to the public. Don't miss it.
