Abstract
The concept of ‘smart city’ is subject to various interpretations from utopian visions of modernist infrastructure to the infusion of technology into public policy and practice. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Lagos – Nigeria’s commercial capital which is currently on a mission to transit ‘from a megacity to a smart city’. However, the linkages between the global narrative on the smart city concept and its framing vis-à-vis urban development in Lagos are yet to be fully interrogated. What is the smart city agenda for Lagos? Who benefits? Specifically, this chapter reviews the deployment of smart city principles in urban infrastructure, economic development and governance efforts, and the effects of these changes on everyday experiences of residents of Lagos.
