Douala, the economic and cultural capital of Cameroon, is one of the most important cities in Central Africa. Informal settlements, micro-economies and spontaneous use of the public space have a primary role in the formation of its urban identity. This fast growing city is the context in which doual'art, a research centre of urban practices, has been operating for more than 16 years. This publication brings together cross-disciplinary analyses of Douala that seek to go beyond predictable and prejudicial views about African towns.
