“…Cities are growing too fast while the bedroom cities are not growing as fast.”
In this episode of Tomorrow, Uzoma sits down with Paul Onwuanibe, real estate visionary and Group CEO of Landmark Africa, to explore The Perfect Place.
Africa is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for travel, investment, tourism, and entertainment. But long before Lagos emerged as a hotspot, it took bold visionaries like Paul to build where others couldn’t yet see the potential. Their work didn’t just transform physical spaces, it reshaped narratives and shifted the long-standing “perception of safety” that often limited Africa’s growth story.
Uzoma and Paul unpack the elements that create the perfect place: visual appeal, energy, and the power of first impressions. From airports as gateways to experience, to the role of people and technology in shaping a city’s identity, they explore how environments influence ambition, behaviour, and the future of urban living.
