Nigeria’s $6BN City in the Sea

Nigeria is constructing a $6 billion dollar city in the Atlantic ocean, called Eko Atlantic. Lagos, the financial and economic capital of Nigeria, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. To grow successfully, Lagos must attract investors. However, currently, the city is very undeveloped and is threatened by rising sea levels. To help with this, Nigerian developers are building a $6 Billion dollar city on reclaimed land off the coast of Lagos, called Eko Atlantic. Eko Atlantic will host many districts with marinas, skyscrapers, and the largest mall in West Africa. Since construction started in 2007, the city has advanced significantly. In the coming years, it will rise from the sea, potentially becoming a global economic hub.
