Thrivescape Initiative: Mapping Community-Driven Innovations for Resilient Construction in Lagos State

The purpose of this project proposal is to outline a comprehensive plan for addressing building collapse in Lagos State through community-led innovations. Resilient construction is crucial for the overall public safety, environmental sustainability and economic growth. The urgency of this initiative is underscored by the enormous damage, including hundreds of deaths, massive economic loss, and societal panic. The absence of community involvement in the construction sector has resulted in limited local ownership of development projects, low awareness of safety standards, and weak accountability mechanisms. Documenting their innovations is essential to developing context-appropriate and sustainable construction solutions.
