LandWey Investment, one of the largest residential development companies in Nigeria,
has announced the launch of a new multi-million Naira project tagged, ‘Future City’ in its bid to tackle Nigeria’s housing deficit and expand to various locations within Lagos and its environs.
In his words,
“By 2040, according to the World Population Review, Nigeria will be approaching a population of over 300 million citizens. This incredible surge in our population demands that we urgently re-evaluate how our cities are designed and built to best meet the needs of future inhabitants. This is why there is a need for new urban settlements and new districts, enhanced by technology
and green energy, to make city living smarter and more efficient. Hence, the reason Future City
was conceived.”
According to Ayilara,
“Lagoonix was created for the Makoko community in response to the imminent threat posed by pollution and lack of sanitation.
The objective is to develop new sustainable habitats in Makoko that use new and green technologies to meet shelter, energy, water and food needs of the people of Makoko while regenerating the marine ecosystems. And in line with our Build for Change social impact commitment to social and environmental change, 1% of all Future City proceeds will be dedicated to this CSR initiative. Our goal is to combine forward-thinking urban design and new digital technology to create
people-centered settlements that achieve sustainability and economic opportunity for growth.”
Upon full activation, some other features of the Future City include, a farmhouse, fully solar- powered homes and an electric vehicle transport system.
