The impact of climate change is pronounced in Africa, where coastal cities are now experiencing a significant rise in sea level and increases in rainfall. In Nigeria, 30 per cent of Lagos is already under water. Made up of houses built on stilts, the informal settlement of Makoko in Lagos subsists on logging and fishing. Here,Kunlé Adeyemiof NLÉ explores Makoko as a potential contemporary model for adapting other African cities to the rise in water levels with minimal resources.
