Continuing on the theme of Architecture and the community, I interviewed Olamide Udoma-Ejorh who is the Director at the Lagos Urban Development Initiative, an urban activist, researcher, filmmaker, and writer. She is currently involved in governance and social issues within the urban environment of Lagos and is an advocate for sustainable transportation and social engagement within urban spaces with a particular focus on gender. She focuses on transport management, slum upgrading, and housing rights in urbanizing African cities. She consulted with UN-Habitat on the Nigerian projects for the Global Future Cities Program. In the last 10 years she has managed and coordinated projects in the UK, South Africa, and Nigeria, working with a variety of clients to ensure that urban planning is participatory from inception to maintenance. Her strengths lie in Urban Infrastructure Management, Project Management, and Communications.
In this conversation, we dive into her experience with designing for the community, the different players that work together to make a project successful and she tells us her take on the future of urban development in Lagos, Nigeria. Lets get into it!
