Makoko

Makoko is a floating village in Lagos, Nigeria. Residents, approximately 85,000 in total, use wooden canoes to navigate the narrow canals and move about the neighborhood. In recent years, there has been great dispute over this area as the government has attempted to demolish homes to allow for the construction of more valuable, waterfront real estate.
