Lagos Negotiates with Returning Floods

Lagos, a city built on a floodplain, has an ongoing and complex relationship with water, evident during periods of heavy rainfall.

The city's geographical condition, situated on a floodplain, predates its existence and is characterized by a continuous interaction with water.

Existing drainage systems and developments, including privatized waterfronts, are built upon a landscape that inherently converses with water, making floods a recurring aspect of the environment rather than an anomaly.
