This volume explores the planning and architectural cultures that
shaped the model space of French colonial Dakar, a prominent city
in West Africa. With a focus on the period from the establishment
of the city in the mid-nineteenth century until the interwar years,
the book reveals a variety of urban politics, policies and
practices, and complex negotiations on both the physical and
conceptual levels. Chronicling the design of Dakar as a regional
capital, the book suggests a connection between the French colonial
doctrines of assimilation and association, and French colonial
planning and architectural policies in sub-Saharan Africa. Of
interest to scholars in history, geography, architecture, urban
planning, African studies and Global South studies, the book
incorporates both primary and secondary sources collected from
multilateral channels in Europe and Senegal. -- .
