LAGOS TRANSIT


These few images of Lagos signed Julian Roeder just to remember what it's like mobility in megacities of the most unequal in the world.

" The city IS overloaded infrastructure, to Lagos Seems To Be full of engineers. Everyone builds, tinkers, Weld, and everyone Finds Their Own Solutions . That Is What makes it all confusing.
The moments of order you do encounter have for the most part been introduced by the new governor, Babatunde Fashola. He is a lawyer and was born in the city, and now he even has his own fan club. He puts in bus lanes where previously there was not even mass transit and installs streetlights powered by solar cells. He has slums cleared that spill out into the roads and resettles the people in barracks; then the area is landscaped and toilets are installed. He has bridges built over markets that obstruct traffic because the sellers and buyers are everywhere.
A special police unit, the K.A.I. (Kick Against Indiscipline), makes sure that people also use the bridges . "

THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD ... AND OTHER SHIPYARD

" New York City's Largest and Oldest Industrial Facility, The Historic Brooklyn Navy Yard employs 250-acres is the East River Between the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges, and SI Presently one of New York City's major industrial sites.

One of the last remnants of Brooklyn's industrial supremacy, the Yard has experienced tremendous change: functioning from the age of wind to that of diesel. As a cradle of naval evolution, the Yard has had to reinvent itself constantly, and this is made evident by the presence of buildings and structures spanning from the 1830s to the 1950s.

The Navy Yard was shut down in 1966 and reopened again in 1971 when the City of New York bought it with the intention of redevelopment. Great ships are still repaired there, and the Yard, now an industrial park with a variety of manufacturers and light industries, functions as a refuge from a city that has mostly forgotten that a mixed economy is a key to its survival ."
