Douala: Suggestions for a new city in Cameroon Africa Work of experts met recently have paved the way. All possible solutions developed by experts from 21 different countries will be integrated into the development program Douala. This is the key point of the closing last Friday, the International Workshop project management urban "Douala City Meeting" (held for two weeks in the city). It was attended by Minister Jean-Claude Mbwentchou Housing and Urban Development (Minhdu), the ambassador of France in Cameroon, Bruno Gain, the Director of the French Development Agency (AFD) Gilles Chausse, President of Ateliers Pierre-André Périssol, Governor Joseph Beti Assomo, and government delegate to the Cud Fritz NTONE NTONE. MINDUH be noted that the cities of the South as a whole meet the pressing problems, poverty, lack of infrastructure and basic services. Jean-Claude Mbwentchou also highlight that in 2015, 60% of the population live in urban areas, in the absence of strong and sustainable economic growth, effective planning and significant investment, our urban centers continue to deteriorate. The work of Douala are very important: the city is reinventing the favor of a more productive and integrated city. Experts involved have scoured the city to get an idea of the challenges ahead. How a whole, between informal and formal? How to deal with an orderly and rational urban areas, and make the city a place where to live? Experts, to carry out their work, were based on the method developed over 30 years by the association "International workshops urban project management of Cergy-Pontoise." This work collective production has already been tested in several countries. For two weeks, teams have developed a strategy for better integration of informal economic activities in the growing urban areas. Two major challenges Douala animated work: high population growth and the issues of social inclusion and economic attraction. The Cud began further thoughts in this direction in recent years.
