Isimi Lagos is a planned city of Lagos State, Nigeria, being constructed in Epe Town. The new city is expected to house up to 10,000 residents upon completion in 2030.[1][2][3] The city covers a land area of over 300 hectares (3,000,000m²) and is designed to promote sustainable living in a coexistence with nature.[1][4]
Isimi Lagos is the first of LandWey's 'Future Cities' under the Newtown project to begin development.[4]
The city's name, 'Isimi,' which means 'Peace of Mind' in Yoruba.[4][5]
