[The population of Abidjan within its walls: urban dynamics and the development of demographic structures between 1955 and 1978]. / La population d'Abidjan dans ses murs: dynamique urbaine et evolution des structures demographiques entre 1955 et 1978

ABSTRACT

PIP The development of the population of Abidjan, capital of the Ivory Coast, is analyzed using data taken primarily from a multi-round survey conducted in 1978-1979. Consideration is given to changes in the age and sex structure of the population over time, nationality, and ethnic group of in-migrants. An attempt is made to categorize the various stages of development the city has gone through and to identify the many different environments and types of settlement within the urban boundaries.^ieng
