L’étalement Urbain Et Occupation De L’espace à Kinshasa Urban Sprawl And Occupation Of Space In Kinshasa

Auteurs : Mutach Yav Rish-naw .

Résumé

The increase in population is the basis of the sprawl of the city of Kinshasa with the consequent creation of spaces for new housing. Unfortunately, this occupation of the land by the population is done in an anarchic, disorderly manner and without reference to any urban or environmental plan, because the population precedes the State in the occupation of the land and the latter only legalizes this occupation. regardless of housing requirements. Hence the concern to identify the actors at the base of the creation of new living spaces and to propose a better integration of new living places. While insisting on the fact that there is a mismatch between the practice on the ground relating to land management and what the legislation in force in the field provides. The close link between urban sprawl and the occupation of space is highlighted here, especially since in Kinshasa it is the realities that are not maintained and evolving in absolute disorder following the actors involved on the margins of the law on the management of land under the helpless eye of the authority thus leading to multiple harmful consequences.
