Lagos, the [former] capital of Nigeria, is one of these cities. It's a town which, despite its 15 million inhabitants, is little known in the developed world (there isn't even a satellite photo of Lagos) but which nevertheless "overturns all received ideas about the characteristics of what we call the modern city". In this way, starting from the Alaba Market, a new "market-city" took shape, with its own system of streets and addresses, its own police, its private justice, its churches, its banks, but without any overall control systems. An "enterprise city", in short, ruled only by the laws of the free market, whose fate may surely be to resemble more and more closely Dubai: a vast free market with world-scaled ambitions.
