Here is one question for you – think carefully. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone mentions Africa? Well, you certainly don't think of some wow megacities, right?

It should be because Africa is building megacities worth 6 billion dollars. Yes, that's right! You heard right. Eko Atlantic is an entirely new coastal city being built on Victoria Island adjacent to Lagos, Nigeria. This is to solve the chronic shortage of real estate in the world's fastest-growing megacity. There's land for expansion in other parts of Lagos which would have cost much less to develop. So why reclaim the sea? It is because Eko Atlantic is designed for the mega-rich in society who waste Dubai-style living with high-rise buildings overlooking beautiful oceans and sea shores. The city is a 10-square-kilometer development project that adjoins the Phase 1 area of
Lekki and Victoria Island district of Lagos city, to the north, while the entire Western, eastern, and southern borders are a coastline. Eko Atlantic City is expected to rise as the next generation of property on the African continent, having a total of 10 districts, spread across 10 million square meters of land reclaimed from the Atlantic ocean and protected by an 8,5-kilometer long
sea wall, known as ''Great Wall of Lagos'' that would serve as a barricade against the rioting ocean. A total of 300,000 families would live in the metropolis, which would also employ 250,000.
