Abstract
In Africa South of the Sahara, urbanization either follows a plan (planned urbanization) or occurs in an anarchical way (without a preliminary Plan). Electricity is a significant resource for the sustainable development of cities. Its distribution in a city or country requires the setting-up of any equipment which together form a network. Ngaoundéré located in Northern Cameroon, like many other towns of developing countries in Africa, is confronted with several problems. This article relates to a spatial analysis of access modes to electric power relative to the occupation of space. It is based on the exploitation of spatial data base of the electricity company in Cameroon (AES-SONEL), the spatial distribution of the population, observations on the field and investigations from local populations, This made it possible to show that spatial disparity of access modes to electric power results from the combined effect of the anarchical urbanization of the city and the financial capacities of inhabitants to subscribed to the network.
