PRESENTATION OF THE SESSION
MUNICIPALITY OF COCODY |
Cocody, is the most prestigious Ivorian municipality where the highest personalities of the country live together. The majority of the heads of diplomatic representations reside there. In addition to its status as an upscale municipality, it has eleven (11) villages comprising two ethnic communities. To these two large communities should be added the representatives of the ethnic communities of other regions of Côte d'Ivoire and those of nationals of African countries. The cohabitation of all these peoples of different cultures and nationalities represents a major asset for the development and influence of the Municipality of Cocody. Africities, an opportune forum for communities to share their experiences in terms of city management, will allow us to share Cocody's experience on the question of a cosmopolitan city and to enrich ourselves with that of others in this area. What are the main issues to be addressed and the debates surrounding these issues at the local, national, continental and international levels (if any)? The issue of cohabitation between communities The question of cohabitation between the different social classes The issue of interconnection between the different communities The objectives of the session are: - Bring out the idea of the importance of cohabitation, mutual respect and acceptance in the management of a cosmopolitan city; - Show everyone that cultural mixing is a source of wealth, even an important lever for the development of communities that have one foot in modernism and the other in tradition; - Highlight the need, alongside modern housing intended for the so-called bourgeois class, to design types of housing for the benefit of populations in less structured neighbourhoods |
