The map
Ibadan spreads across a series of low hills in southwestern Nigeria, and from above it looks less like a planned city than a vast web of streets. The old centre is dense and irregular, with lanes packed closely around markets and family compounds. Beyond it, roads extend outward in long lines toward surrounding towns, and newer districts fill the land between them.
The city grew in the nineteenth century as a military settlement and became one of the largest cities in West Africa. Its hills give the map a varied texture, and on one of them Bower's Tower looks out over the rooftops. Ibadan is also home to the University of Ibadan, founded in 1948, whose campus forms a large green space north of the centre.
Cocoa House, built in the 1960s on the wealth of the cocoa trade, still stands in the centre as a reminder of the region's former prosperity. An Ibadan map poster captures the size of the city without clutter, from the dense old quarters to the looser suburbs, and shows how completely it covers the hills and valleys around it.

Low hills rise across the city, and from one of them Bower's Tower gives a view over the whole urban area, with the relief showing in the bends of the streets.
Nigeria's first university occupies a large campus of open land and trees north of the centre, a clear break in the otherwise dense urban fabric.
