Résumé

Alome a evolue du statut de village a celui de ville (lome) en presence des forces coloniales. Son cadre exprime la resultante entre la volonte d'amenagement urbain, de la part du pouvoir local, et les pratiques sociales heritees du milieu rural. La consequence se traduit par les maux fort connus : gestion du sol, salubrite, voirie et reseaux divers, habitat et planification. Un relais ephemere, le zongo, devenu territoire legal en marge de la ville, constitue l'exemple de l'espace lomeen le moins maitrise.

Before becoming a city (lome) during the colonization, alome was just a little village. The town, now, is brought under two forces: town-development by local government in a case, and some practices inherted from rural circle, in another one. So, several problems such as earth management, dwelling, health, planning, refuse collection and various systems, are still usually sustained by the population. Zongo, an unpermanent relay, changed in a legal quarter but kept out of the town-circle, is the best example of deficient space-control in lome.
