The Phenomenon of Squatting in Leopoldville

The disruption of the social structure which we deal with in another work has led to the establishment, since 1960, of a very extensive squatting zone in Leopoldville. Leaving aside the inherent difficulties of rapid urbanization, the fact that the squatting problem has still not been solved in a town such as Leopoldville, where the population is doubling in less than 20 years by natural increase alone is found to hamper considerably the normal development of this urban centre.

Summary:The disruption of the social structure which we deal with in another work has led to the establishment, since 1960, of a very extensive squatting zone in Leopoldville. Leaving aside the inherent difficulties of rapid urbanization, the fact that the squatting problem has still not been solved in a town such as Leopoldville, where the population is doubling in less than 20 years by natural increase alone is found to hamper considerably the normal development of this urban centre.
