Summary

Saint-Louis, once the capital of French West Africa, stands as a unique example of European urban planning adapted to African soil. The city's core, shaped by 300 years of European influence, showcases the interplay between spontaneous African urbanization and rigid European designs. This study reveals how specific spatial arrangements and social structures from this colonial era have persisted in the modern city, demonstrating the enduring impact of European models on local conditions. The research explores these dynamics through an analysis of Saint-Louis's urban evolution, highlighting its significance as a testament to cross-cultural urban development.
