Lagos Maps Informal Urban Spaces Under New SCRAMP Initiative
The Lagos State Government has kicked off the documentation phase of the Setbacks, Common Areas and Roadsides Administration and Monitoring Project (SCRAMP). The exercise will map over 1,700 informal urban spaces to curb illegal occupation and conversion of public land. Octragon Multi-Projects Ltd. and the Lagos State Informal Management Authority will identify, document and manage setbacks, common areas, roadsides and other informal spaces. Existing occupants can apply for licences or temporary occupancy under verified guidelines. This initiative follows the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law of 2019. It aims to ensure orderly development, protect infrastructure and improve environmental sustainability across the state.
