The first phase for 2500 families consists of two paired neighborhoods joined at a main street. Contrary to contemporary developments in Nigeria that address security concerns, the plan is ungated and open to the public providing a rare civic realm. <\/p>\n<p>The master plan also includes an eko-resort, located on 1,300 acres of a designated conservation area. Designed to be a weekend vacation destination, the houses, roads and boardwalks will be elevated to minimally impact the habitat and species already present within the wildlife preserve.<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/us1.campaign-archive.com\/?u=2a3f61daa5c6929b735981acb&amp;id=5808ff3973\" >link<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quote: Farr Associates was commissioned to design a new sustainable settlement to serve as a model for Nigeria and Africa&#8217;s explosive land use development and growth.
