Current Research

Developing Participatory Urban Governance Framework for Climate Resilience in Lagos Megacity

Research Details

Introduction: Increase in urbanization and climate related disasters threaten city resilience, and Lagos has been identified as one of the vulnerable cities due to its coastal location and rapid increase in population. Hence, there isa need for an innovative governance approach that prioritize social engagement and collaborative decision-making,Aim and Objective: The aim of the study is to develop a participatory Urban Governance Framework for climate Resilience in Lagos megacity with the following objectives: including, to identify and analyse key stakeholders, to develop cultural climate resilience strategies, to create gamification tools and stimulation models so as to educate and engage community members on climate and its resilience.Methodology: The study will use both qualitative and quantitative approach, and the analysis will be done using thematic and descriptive/regression analysis, respectively. Pilot testing of the frame work will be done to assess its implementation and impact.Expected result: It is expected that the study will increase climate resilience in Lagos, increase participatory of citizens in urban governance for building climate resilience, innovation and fostering a culture of climate resilience. Validated participatory governance framework for climate resilience in Lagos. Scalable model for building climate resilience in other cities.Contribution to knowledge/society: The use of interactive tools gamification and simulations will raise awareness and educate citizen about climate resilience leading to behavioural changes.
