Presenting a remarkable key note presentation was Mr. Olasupo Shasore SAN who took the audience on an interesting journey of the past, present and future of Architecture in Lagos. In a concluding remark, he described Lagos as a “pedestrian city that is not pedestrian friendly” hence certain policies have to be put in place and attended to in order to have the Lagos we all dream of.

The keynote speech was shortly followed by a panel discussion with Mrs. Kofo Adeleke, Mrs. Titi Adeleye, Mr. Tuoyo Jemerigbe and was moderated by Mrs. Annette Fisher. Topics discussed included the importance of resident friendly cities, urbanism and protecting structures that represents the heritage of our city.
