2nd NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AGENDA 2030 AND THE SDGs

Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social, human, and economic development. Urban planning, transport systems, water, sanitation, waste management, disaster risk reduction, access to information, education and capacity-building are all relevant issues to sustainable urban development

In 2008, for the first time in history, the global urban population outnumbered the rural population. This milestone marked the advent of a new 'urban millennium' and, by 2050, it is expected that two-thirds of the world population will be living in urban areas. With more than half of humankind living in cities and the number of urban residents growing by nearly 73 million every year, urban areas account for 70 per cent of the world's gross domestic product and have therefore generated economic growth and prosperity for many. It is based on these impacts that this conference interrogates Goal 11 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for the benefit of our immediate community, Lagos mega-city, particularly Nigeria, the rest of Africa and the world in general.

The conference aims to bring together academics, Governments, Public and Private Enterprises, Policy makers and professionals to dwell on how Smart city technology can benefit our population by improving transportation systems, enhancing safety and security, optimizing resource management, promoting environmental sustainability, including improved quality of life and increased efficiency of infrastructure and services in our cities and what is needed to be done to prevent the degradation of human communities by proposing innovative solutions to the gripping challenges the world cities face today. .
