The case of Yaoundé, particularly in terms of development strategy and its metropolitan area, was illustrated. As part of the 33rd edition of the World Habitat Day, it was precisely "question of sharing experiences of the case of Yaoundé that has just developed its development strategy." It is also an opportunity "to see with all local elected officials the issues and challenges to be met so that we can implement this strategy so that it does not remain only planning documents," said Arnaud Philippe Ndzana , advisor n ° 1 to the delegate of the government of the Urban Community of Yaounde (CUY). Indeed, the Development Strategy and its metropolitan area is based on six pillars to facilitate the emergence by 2035 of the city of Yaounde and its metropolitan area. This is good governance, urban mobility, a smart urban that involves planning the metropolitan space for the purpose of space management, equitable access to infrastructure and attractiveness of the poles economic and environmental development plans, among others. Clearly, the presentations are intended "to create a craze for mayors to go to financial partners. We have UN Habitat which has shown the mechanisms of technical support and Feicom, financial support measures "said Marie Solange Mbang Efon, director of urban planning, architecture and living environment at the CUY. Thus, mayors now have the necessary resources to shine a thousand lights their cities.
