  • Key Facts on Mali & Bamako
    Key Facts on Mali & Bamako Mali is one of Africa’s widest country, located in the South of the Sahara region. With a size of 1 241 238 km2, 60% of its area is a desert. The country is secluded inside 7 000 kms of borders with 7 neighbour states: Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal, and Mauritania. The country’s hydrogaphic network is built around the drainage basins of the two main rivers: Senegal and Niger rivers and their tributaries. The urban population’s growth has increased rapidly between 1987 and 1998: between + 4.6 and 5.1% per year. According to statistics, the urbanization should increase swiftly and reach 47.5 % in 2024. Bamako is located on both sides of the Niger river, which flows from West to East. The central business district and all centrality functions are gathered on the North bank, but the city is contained in the North by the Plateaus, therefore, the city has crossed the river and sprawls swiftly to the South bank. Growing from a big village of a thousand people to a 2 million inhabitants agglomeration over one century, Mali’s capital city Bamako is now jutting out from everywhere. Area: 267km2 District’s population: 1 809 106 (2009), 12,5% of the total population. Density: 76 inhabitants/ha (2010) Population Growth Rate: 5,4% (6th rank in the world) Informal Employment Rate: 80% Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Sectors Parts (2006): 6%, 20%, 80%. 80% of the Malian’s industry companies (2006) 75% of the country’s importations and 10% of its exportations.

The particular focus is on the history of the Parti D&mocratigue da Gui.n£e (PDG) , chapter party of the interterritorial federal movement the Rassemblement Democratique Africainr and its relations with the French colonial government. Founded in 1946, the KDA was initially suppressed by the French administration due to its affiliation with the Communist Party. Although the FDA severed its ties with the Communists in 1950, in Guinea the PDG suffered from enduring suspicion because of its links with the Communist-dominated French trade union movement. Finally in 1955 the PDG and union leader S6kou Tourd formally announced the party's disaffilia­ tion from the Communists and his intention to create an autonomous African trade union.

  • The New Urban Centralities
    International Workshop of planning and urban design in Bamako, Mali – July 9th to 23 rd , 2011 BAMAKO METROPOLIS Call for applicants in order to select 21 international participants for this workshop of collective production of strategies and urban development projects. THE NEW URBAN CENTRALITIES How to create an efficient system of attractive urban centralities, linked to a metropolitan public transport network, so as to adapt to the extraordinary growth of the city and promote densification rather than urban sprawl? Foreword In the context of preparing the fourth Urban Project of Mali (PUM4), and following the enthusiasm generated by Bamako's « Urban Development Forum » that took place in February 2010, Bamako's mayor sought the expertise of the French association Les Ateliers Internationaux de Maîtrise d'Oeuvre Urbaine (International Workshops of planning and urban design) to organize their trademark professional international workshop in Bamako. The idea of this workshop emerged in April 2010, when M. Mamadou Wadidje, Bamako's city council member, and M.Oumar Konaté, CEO of the cellules techniques d'appui aux communes (sort of a planning agency born out of the Forum) were both members of the jury during the international workshop that took place in Saint-Louis-du-Sénégal and whose theme was: « Saint Louis 2030, new African metropolis ». Bamako's district city council shown a lot of interest regarding the approach and the propositions quality ; they also appreciated the creation of a debate on these urban issues. The District's mayor wishes to take advantage of the decentralized cooperation between French urban communities and Bamako. Indeed, these collaborations are dealing with urban development, urban planning, the creation of an urban planning agency, urban mobility, sanitation, and the population's access to public services.
