Urban development, poverty situations and access to the city in sub-Saharan Africa. The example of Niamey

Abstract

If capitals in French-speaking Africa, as elsewhere, are the place for a relative concentration of wealth, the fact remains that a large proportion of the population has low incomes and shows difficulties in ensuring the high cost of mobility. Travel difficulties are exacerbated by rapid urban growth, pronounced urban sprawl and under-equipments of outlying neighbourhoods. Is there then no risk of limiting the area of attendance in the immediate vicinity of the home, falling back to the neighbourhood? The analysis of a household survey on their daily movements, carried out in Niamey, provides an answer to this question.
