TRANSCRIPT
IS THERE ANY SPACE AROUND HERE THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER PUBLIC (WHERE YOU CAN RELAX OR SOCIALISE)?
• 80% said NO
• ‘’No, you pay for everything in Lagos’’
• National stadium Surulere (30 minute walk from Tejuosho)
• Malls and eateries (Burger King)
• Hotels and bars
• ‘'Yes, but not ideal for women’’
DANFONE Part of a multi-layered transport system (4 or 5 layers?)
Part of traffic, which is deeply embedded in the city culture
Lots and lots of people in a similar situation at any given single time
Interaction between strangers
JIGI LAGOS Tamper with the flow of the city energy
Get people out of their everyday mundane activities, a release, with sight and sound
Adaptable dependent on time of day - the morning rushing and the evening laid-back
A controlled but not controlling narrative
Promote interaction between people
PUBLIC SPACE • Re-uses the city infrastructure to create
connections – person to person, person to city • Accessible; people have easy access and can
engaged in activit ies • Comfortable; people feel safe • Sociable place: one where people meet each other
and take people when they come to visit. • Economic, social, and ethnic diversity
