DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Taibat Lawanson\, University of Liverpool\n\nAfrican
  cities are leveraging opportunities inherent in globalisation and the d
 igital turn to adopt new ways of city-making. Recently\, the ‘smart city
 ’ concept and the platform economy have been prominent in Lagos\, Nigeri
 a’s primate city. Lagos’ ambition for world- class status has driven sta
 te-endorsed implementation of ‘urban innovation’\, but with unintended c
 onsequences on everyday people. In this talk\, I will focus on how the s
 mart city and platform economy models are disrupting housing and transpo
 rtation sectors in Lagos\, as well as upturning citizen-led social safet
 y mechanisms.\n\nTaibat Lawanson is Leverhulme Professor of Planning & H
 eritage at University of Liverpool\nShe leads the Urbanism and Coastal H
 eritage Lab at the Architecture Heritage and Urbanism in Western Africa 
 Research Centre (AHUWA) at University of Liverpool.\n
