National Urban Development Policy, 2012

Smart-city framework; urban renewal; basis for ongoing Lagos / Abuja master plans.

Statutory basis

Urban and Regional Planning Act, Cap N138 LFN 2004; Land Use Act 1978

Frames the smart-city agenda, urban renewal, and the slum-upgrading programme. Constrained by the Land Use Act 1978, which vests all land in the relevant State Governor — making federal urban-development policy substantially dependent on State cooperation.
