The growth of Nigeria's urban population has been phenomenal, with Lagos being one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Rapid growth also brings problems, notably the shortage of social amenities, crime and violence. Drawing on specific examples from Lagos, Abeokuta and Kano, among others, the book examines various issues on the management of modern Nigerian cities. The original analysis on the movement of people and goods, improving sanitisation and minimising ethnic tension in Nigerian cities over the last century will engage scholars, experts and policy makers.
