Özet

Primarily in industrialized and some developing nations, the adoption of the smart city approach as a sustainable approach to the management and implementation of infrastructure developments has been rising. Initiatives to build resilience are critical for successful cities in these developing nations, like Nigeria. This research explores the various advantages of building resilience in Nigeria's smart cities in light of this growth. Few scholars have examined the building and smart city efforts aimed at enhancing Nigeria's built environment's sustainability in the context of the current global environmental issues. Thus, this study closes the gaps by evaluating the various aspects of building and the city's resilience with a focus on Lagos, the most populated metropolis in Africa. The following issues are covered with reviews of the literature: (i) the current Lagos Smart City projects; (ii) Smart City and Building initiatives in Nigeria; and (iii) the goal of robust resilience. By succinctly describing the strategic planning for smart city development, in addition to the opportunities discovered in the smart city and building initiatives, this paper contributes to the conversation around smart cities. This will aid in the documentation, forecasting, and future decision-making processes for Nigeria's Smart Cities.
