The aim is to develop, alongside this infrastructure, public spaces and community facilities designed with and for local residents.<\/p><p>During the mission, the urbaMonde team took part in several site visits, both to sites already developed during an initial phase outside the Urban Fabric scheme and to future sites earmarked for new developments. These visits helped to ground the discussions in local realities and identify initial opportunities for action.<\/p><p>Working sessions were also held throughout the week, bringing together the incubator team, representatives of the outreach programme and the Douala Urban Community, the project\u2019s client. An official meeting with the mayor of the Douala Urban Community provided an opportunity to identify the key issues for this project, particularly regarding resident participation and the involvement of local authorities. These discussions helped lay the foundations for the initial operational stages and strengthen collaborative efforts.<\/p><p>The project is led by a consortium of local and international organisations \u2014 Doual\u2019art, Assoal, the Diwouta consultancy and Espelia \u2014 which will work closely with the city of Douala over a three-year period. Together, they will explore approaches ranging from joint assessment and the co-design of public spaces to the development of sustainable management models.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc49 Find out more about our programme: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbamonde.org\/en\/animation-and-development-of-the-network-of-nurseries-in-urban-africa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Facilitating the Urban Fabric Initiatives Programme\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc49Find out more about the partner: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afd.fr\/fr\/les-pepinieres-urbaines-laboratoire-de-participation-citoyenne\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement (AFD)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3679248 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"3679248\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;caption&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:4,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"http:\/\/urbamonde.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u00a9StudioBainem_FlorentChiappero-Douala-1-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"3679248\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00a9StudioBai\u0308nem_FlorentChiappero--Douala--1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTYwNSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDpcL1wvdXJiYW1vbmRlLm9yZ1wvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDFcL1x1MDBhOVN0dWRpb0JhaW5lbV9GbG9yZW50Q2hpYXBwZXJvLURvdWFsYS0xLXNjYWxlZC5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIzNjc5MjQ4In0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/urbamonde.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/\u00a9StudioBainem_FlorentChiappero-Douala-1-300x200.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"200\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a9 Studio Bai\u0308nem -
