HARBOR

Lagos is a community that combines the best of the urban life and architecture of the historic city of Guayaquil, with modern comforts, modern technology, and a modern sense of environmental responsibility. The cultural and environmental sensibility of Lagos is manifested in an emphasis on design that is responsive to the land and climate, and an approach that draws on the time-tested principles and the latest best practices of the New Urbanism in both urban design and architecture. For this reason, Lagos is able to offer the distinctive beauty and lively diversity of an historic town, along with the comforts and conveniences of a modern city... The nature of the land inspired a plan that combines a network of canals for drainage with areas built up to support development and interlaced with an interconnected network of streets. This network of canals provides a thematic element throughout the community of Lagos, creating both continuity and useful separation between the town center..
