Urban transport in the Congo: case of the city of Brazzaville, Problems, and prospects

摘要

The social and economic changes have brought about important and profound changes regarding both the lives of the citizens of the South of Africa in the Sahara and regarding their mentalities in general and in Congo in particular. Food, clothing, shelter and especially transportation are among the daily concerns of the people in Brazzaville. The dramatic increase in the population observed in recent years has not provided adequate and appropriate conditions for city dwellers that have to travel every day in order to attend to their occupations, and thus meet their daily needs. The urban transport network, which is constantly deteriorating despite numerous works undertaken at the cost of billions, is also a cruci al problem in the urban transport networks in the city of Brazzaville. Thus, many problems coupled with inadequate roads, spreading of the urban perimeter and the phenomenon of half-terraces constitutes a handicap to improve the supply of urban transport in Brazzaville. This requires adapted solutions in order to satisfy residents of a cosmopolitan city whose population grows at an exponential rate.
