| Résumé |
Community restructuring within the Niamey urban area. The various urban plans that have structured the spread of the Niamey urban area may be summed up as the expression of a policy of spatial segregation and « anti-ghettoisation ». In the colonial era, the town was split into two parts, with the Gounti Yena thalweg serving as a borderline between the two. Following independence and the implementation of the 1964 and 1967 plans, the town was divided into zones called « arrondissements » (districts). Extremely rapid demographic and spatial growth, however, made it necessary to draw up a master urban development plan (SDAU) in 1984. This resulted in Niamey being subdivided into five districts, administered by district chiefs assisted by a Prefect-Mayor. In 1989, Niamey became the « urban community of Niamey » in a move to facilitate administration of the urban area. Today, after much hesitation, reflecting the local issues at stake, the town has been divided into five communes corresponding to local traditional « territories ». Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
