The capacity enhancing project for young planning professionals and PhD students aimed at deconstructing White male thinking by reading and discussing literature from Tsitsi Dangarembga, Achille Mbembe, Lilian Thuram, and Felwine Sarr.

In a second step, the study group analyzed the elitist thinking behind the 2052 Lagos State Development Plan, published in late 2022 by the Lagos State Government. The papers were summarized in a short essay, that will be published in 2024.
