== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==
Lagos is a largely populated city in Nigeria where I have lived all my life . There is competition for land resources for shelter purposes and the loops and under bridges that could have been developed into parks and gardens served as the home of criminals and destitute for many years under the military rule. However with the advent of democracy, things changed and these loops were transformed into gardens and parks. As a Landscape architect I however noticed that these parks are non functional. They are pockets of ghost open spaces which are used by few people or no-one. The Eko o ni Baje Garden is one of such places. I believe that a planting design proposal that will add vitality to the space and that will enlist community participation by perception will transform this open space into a hub of recreational activities that is appreciated by the community.

== Author's perspective ==
''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?''

I am a Landscape architect with a professional Masters in Landscape architecture but I have the privilege of also being a Botanist by my Bachelors Degree. This thus allows me an appreciation of landscape design as well as the plant material input.This case is important to me because it will open a new vista for park design implementation proposal that can be presented to the State Government to influence their park design concepts.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The climate of this site is the same as the average weather conditions of Lagos State, with 2 seasons in the year and an average rainfall range of 1,500-4,000mm per year. There are two principal winds , the wet south west winds which bring rainfall from the coast and dry North East winds which bring harmattan from the sahara desert. The humidity and temperature levels are averagely high throughout the year typical of a tropical west African zone.
The site is formed by an intersection of roads of two different elevations.It is a depressed landform with a steep slope on the edges and a flat terrain in the depressed portion(a loop) It has laterite and clayey soils which was cut and filled in some areas on the site with humus soil before the intentional tree,shrub and grass planting were done. It has 24 trees and several shrubs and has a drainage gutter channel running through it. It is located in the center of a fast moving traffic on both sides. The urban context of this site is a mixed use zone with residential and commercial structures. it has an overall character of noise from automobiles and from the train across the road on the other side. It was originally an abandoned site where refuse is dumped but later became a roadside flower shop/nursery until a few years back when it was reclaimed and the intentional planting was done on it. On the few occasions I revisited the site I saw that it was not being used by anyone save a few people sleeping under the trees there.I interviewed them and I learnt that the site was not used by anyone except for film makers who want to shoot some scenes. Since it has no pedestrian pathway or park furniture or play equipment for children it was not too surprising.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==
Lagos is a largely populated city in Nigeria where I have lived all my life . There is competition for land resources for shelter purposes and the loops and under bridges that could have been developed into parks and gardens served as the home of criminals and destitute for many years under the military rule. However with the advent of democracy, things changed and these loops were transformed into gardens and parks. As a Landscape architect I however noticed that these parks are non functional. They are pockets of ghost open spaces which are used by few people or no-one. The Eko o ni Baje Garden is one of such places. I believe that a planting design proposal that will add vitality to the space and that will enlist community participation by perception will transform this open space into a hub of recreational activities that is appreciated by the community.

== Author's perspective ==
''From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?''

I am a Landscape architect with a professional Masters in Landscape architecture but I have the privilege of also being a Botanist by my Bachelors Degree. This thus allows me an appreciation of landscape design as well as the plant material input.This case is important to me because it will open a new vista for park design implementation proposal that can be presented to the State Government to influence their park design concepts.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
* Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

Lagos is the largest city in Nigeria with a population of 10.7 million estimated
in the metropolitan area. It is predicted by the united nations to become the 3rd
largest mega city in the world by 2015 if the present growth rate remains the same.
Lagos is where I have lived all my life and I have seen its great competition for
land resources for shelter purposes by the teeming population . the loops and under
bridges that could have been developed into lovely parks and visual gardens served
as the home of criminals, destitute and touts for many years under the military rule.
However with the advent of democracy, things changed and these loops were transformed
into gardens and parks. As a Landscape architect I however noticed that these parks
are non functional. They are pockets of ghost open spaces which are used by few people
or no-one. The Lagos airport loop is one of such places. I believe that a planting design
proposal that will add vitality to the space and that will enlist community participation
by perception will transform this open space into a hub of recreational activities that
is appreciated and cared for by the community.
